5-Ingredient Pecan Pie Muffins

5-ingredient pecan pie muffins that really taste like pecan pie! With lots of buttery brown sugar, eggs, a little bit of flour and pecans.

Salted caramel drizzle entirely optional but highly recommended.

They’re tender yet dense with notes of butterscotch and caramel combined with the unmistakable crunch of pecans in every bite.

They’re super moist with the softest middles that will melt in your mouth.

I didn’t have high expectations for them and was completely wowed by how delicious they turned out! They come together so quickly you can whip them up for impromptu guests or when you want something sweet without a lot of work.

I’d make a double batch.
