Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I make these muffins in advance?
A: Absolutely! These muffins store well and actually taste even better the next day after the flavors have had time to meld.
Q: Do I need to toast the pecans?
A: Toasting the pecans is optional but recommended if you want to enhance their flavor. Toast them lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, then let them cool before adding to the batter.
Q: Can I make mini muffins with this recipe?
A: Yes, you can make mini muffins! Simply reduce the baking time to about 10-12 minutes and keep an eye on them as they bake.
Q: Can I add a streusel topping?
A: While the muffins are already rich and sweet, adding a streusel topping can give them an extra crunch. Combine 2 tablespoons of flour, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of butter, then sprinkle it over the muffins before baking.
Q: What’s the best way to keep the muffins moist?
A: The muffins’ moist texture comes from the butter and brown sugar. To retain moisture, store them in an airtight container and avoid overbaking.
