Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F
- Melt butter and brown it, it really helps make the taste.

- In a large mixing bowl mix, liquid ingredients add your melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk, and use ONLY 1/2 of your real maple syrup
- Dump your dry ingredients in your wet ingredients and fully combine
- Next, fold chopped pecans into muffin batter
- Using a muffin pan, line your muffin tins with paper liners
- You can also just grease the muffins tins, if you prefer not to use liners
- Spoon batter into muffin cups about 2/3 the way full
- Place one pecan half on each muffin.
- Drizzle each muffin with the other half of the maple syrup that you set aside.
- Bake Muffins for 20-25 min or until fully cooked!
