Ingredients
- ⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 4 ounces pecan nuts plus 12 extra for topping
- ⅔ cup + 1 tablespoon milk see the note
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar see the note
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- a pinch of salt optional
- 4 ounces caster sugar
- 3 ounces salted butter see the note
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Roughly chop the pecan nuts, set aside.
- Melt the butter in a microwave or on a double boiler and let it cool.
- Preheat the oven to 170°C/ 338°F fan oven, 180°C/ 350°F, or gas mark 4.
- Put the milk in a jug and squeeze in the lemon juice or white vinegar. Do not stir. Leave it aside.
- In a mixing bowl, place all-purpose flour, baking powder, caster sugar, a pinch of salt, maple syrup, cooled melted butter, and eggs.
- Using a handheld or stand mixer, beat the ingredients together until you get a nice thick and smooth batter.
- Fold the chopped pecans into the batter and scoop the batter into muffin cases.
- Bake your maple pecan muffins in preheated oven at 180°C/ 350°F (170°C/ 338°F for fan oven), or at gas mark 4 for about 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Leave the muffins for about 2-3 minutes before you serve them warm, or you can transfer them onto a cooling rack.
Notes
- If you like, you can use buttermilk for this recipe instead of ordinary milk. When you do so, you can omit the lemon juice/ white vinegar. Just put 6 fluid ounces/ 175 milliliters of buttermilk.
