Notes
- Don't overmix the batter. Whisk it until just combined.
- Make sure the pecans are chopped into fairly small pieces. You can buy the prechopped ones from the store but you may want to run your knife through it to make them a little finer. Smaller pieces distribute more evenly and give you a bit of pecan flavor in each bite.
- Don't skip the 5 minutes of cooling time. The muffins need that time to firm up slightly.
