Pecan Pie Muffins
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vegetable cooking spray
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 425°. Combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl; make a well
in center of mixture. Stir together butter and next 2 ingredients; add to brown
sugar mixture, and stir just until moistened. Coat 2 (12-cup) miniature muffin
pans well with cooking spray. Place 1 tsp. finely chopped pecans in each muffin
cup; spoon batter over pecans, filling almost to top. Place muffin pans on an
aluminum foil-lined jelly-roll pan.
Bake at 425° for 10 to 12 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center
comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack 2 minutes. Run a knife around edge of each
cup to loosen muffins, and remove from pans.
