Pecan Pie Cupcakes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup corn syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy.
  3. Add in the brown sugar and mix until well combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, making sure to fully incorporate each before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with batter. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the pecan filling. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine corn syrup, brown sugar, and eggs. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens, then remove from heat.
  9. Stir in the chopped pecans. Once the cupcakes have cooled, spoon the filling on top of each one.
  10. Let the filling set for a bit, then dig in and enjoy these delightful treats!
