Preheat oven to 400℉. Grease 9 muffin cups. Fill the remaining cups half-way with water.

In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients. Incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ones. Mix until mixture is moistened, being careful not to over-mix the batter.

Fill muffin cups ⅔ full with batter. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the center muffin comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Toast Your Pecans First 🥜
Lightly toast pecans in a dry skillet for 3-4 minutes before chopping and adding to batter to intensify their rich, buttery flavor and prevent them from becoming soggy.
Room Temperature Ingredients 🌡️
Bring eggs and milk to room temperature before mixing to ensure even incorporation and create a tender crumb structure that doesn't result in dense, heavy muffins.
Don't Overmix the Batter ⚡
Mix dry and wet ingredients until just combined with a few lumps remaining—overmixing develops gluten and creates tough, rubbery muffins instead of the tender texture you're after.
Create a Cinnamon Sugar Swirl 🌀
Layer half the batter in muffin cups, sprinkle a cinnamon-sugar mixture in the center, then top with remaining batter to create a delicious pocket of concentrated cinnamon flavor throughout.
Fill Cups Strategically 🧁
Fill muffin cups about two-thirds full and place any extras in the center cup to ensure even baking and prevent the outer muffins from browning too quickly while centers remain underbaked.
