Ingredients

cooking spray
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
0.5 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs eggs
0.5 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract, or to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin with paper liners and a light coating of cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, chopped pecans, and flour. Create a well in the center of the mixture.
Using an electric mixer, beat eggs in a separate large bowl until light and foamy, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Gently fold in melted butter and vanilla extract. Pour the egg mixture into the well in the center of the brown sugar mixture. Stir until the batter is thoroughly combined.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each one about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
