Servings: 12 muffins

Ingredients

  • ½ cup neutral oil canola or vegetable works well
  • ¼ cup brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 ¾ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup pecans chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, stir together salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and flour. Set aside.
  • In a separate, large mixing bowl, combine the oil, brown sugar, and maple syrup.
  • Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and milk to the sugar mixture. Stir to incorporate.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Stir in the chopped pecans. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin so each well is about ¾ full.
  • Bake the muffins at 400°F for 5 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350°F and bake for another 15-17 minutes. The muffins will be golden brown and a tester inserted into the largest muffin should come out clean.
