Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar with an electric handheld mixer. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and mashed banana and beat until creamy.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the combined wet ingredients and mix at low speed just until combined. Fold in the butterscotch chips and chopped pecans.
3
Spoon batter into muffin tins lined with parchment liners ¾ full. Top with additional pecans, if desired. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Top with additional butterscotch chips right after baking.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Banana Ripeness is Critical 🍌Use bananas with brown spots and a slightly soft texture—they have maximum natural sweetness and moisture that creates tender, flavorful muffins without excess added sugar.
- Toast Your Pecans First 🥜Lightly toast pecans in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes before adding to the batter to intensify their nutty flavor and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Freeze Butterscotch Chips 🧊Chill butterscotch chips in the freezer for 15 minutes before folding them into the batter so they hold their shape and distribute evenly throughout without melting prematurely.
- Don't Overmix the Batter 🥄Fold ingredients together gently until just combined—overmixing develops gluten and creates dense, tough muffins instead of the desired moist, tender crumb.
- Use Room Temperature Eggs 🥚Allow eggs to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before adding; they emulsify better and create a lighter, more uniform batter with superior moisture retention.
