Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, stirring until it turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma (about 5 minutes). Let cool slightly.
  2. Mix Sugars: In a large bowl, combine granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the browned butter, eggs, and vanilla extract; mix until smooth.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients until just combined.
  4. Fold in Pecans: Gently fold in chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
  5. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Fill cupcake liners two-thirds full with batter and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy as-is or with your favorite frosting.
