1 c. chopped pecans
2 large eggs
11 Tbsp. real butter (about 1 1/3 sticks), melted

Preheat oven to 350. Place 9 cupcake paper liners into regular muffin pan and spray each of the liners with nonstick cooking spray. In a bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and pecans until mixed well. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until foamy and then add melted butter. Stir well. Combine the egg mixture with the flour mixture. Stir until moistened. Spoon batter into muffin cups. You will need to fill almost full. There is no leavening agent in these to make them rise. Bake for about 20-25 mins. Around the 15 mins mark, you can pull them out and sprinkle some more chopped pecans or a whole one on each muffin and then put back into oven to finish out their baking time. Bake until a toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean.

Note: can make into mini muffins, just decrease baking time by 5 mins.
Note: you can use any nut you want if you don’t like pecans
Note: are a slightly dense muffin and can be eaten warm or at room temp.
