Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
  • Whole pecans for garnish

Substitutions:

  • Swap milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
  • Replace pecans with walnuts or almonds for a different nutty twist.

Instructions

Step1: Preheat and Prep

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the wells with cooking spray.

Step2: Mix Dry Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

Step3: Combine Wet Ingredients

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.

Step4: Add Pecans and Caramel

  • Gently fold in chopped pecans and 1/2 cup of salted caramel sauce. Be careful not to overmix.

Step5: Fill Muffin Tins

  • Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each well about three-quarters full.

Step6: Bake

  • Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let muffins cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack.

Step7: Garnish and Serve

  • Drizzle additional salted caramel sauce over each muffin and top with a whole pecan for garnish.

Equipment

Notes

  • Use high-quality salted caramel sauce for the best flavor.
  • Toast pecans lightly before folding them into the batter for added crunch and flavor.
  • Don’t overmix the batter—it ensures soft, fluffy muffins.
