Trisha Yearwood Pecan Pie Muffins Recipe

Today, I’m bringing you Trisha Yearwood's Pecan Pie Muffins recipe, a true gem in my kitchen!
These muffins capture the essence of a pecan pie in a convenient, handheld form.
A valuable tip I'll tell you right away: Use dark brown sugar for a richer, more complex flavor that enhances the pecans.
Also be sure to use room-temperature butter and eggs for a smoother batter and better rise.
And if have the patience, you should toast the pecans beforehand to enhance their natural taste and add a toasty depth.
