Hi, so this recipe looks awesome and it's sooo easy which I love but isn't that a lot of butter. Could you substitute some of the butter with something else??
Sarah, if you put a slice of bread in your (sealed) brown sugar container, even if it's hard like a rock, the next day, it will have taken all the moisture from the bread and be soft again! xox
I'm glad you had a pecan recipe. I'm not that hot on pumpkin flavored stuff and every single years the big thing is pumpkin. Yay for pecans. Good video Sarah and you used your muscle instead of a mixer. I like that too. But I know this is the modern world so those fancy mixing machines have their place too. :) I don't use them but I'm not a chef. :)
I'm going to try these, but I was wondering though since the pecans are going to get baked with the muffins, do you still have to toast it? Wouldn't it burn?
These are lovely! ♥ I usually toast nuts in a pan on the stove top, does oven toasting make a difference? I don't like to heat up my house with the oven when it's 100 degrees outside :(
I guess it's easier in the oven b/c the hot air circulates and on the pan you have to stir frequently so they toast evenly, but it doesn't make a difference
I have a question. we're I live in (Mexico) I can only find brown sugar. it's cor's and doesn't pack. it's like I don't know if you now "Mexican sugar" but very cor's and dry...???? how would I do that?? is there a difference?
From your description, it sounds like raw sugar. Raw sugar is less processed than white sugar. You can use raw sugar instead of white sugar in most recipes. You can use piloncillo instead of brown sugar. Some people call piloncillo "Mexican brown sugar". Piloncillo has more flavor than brown sugar but it takes more work to use.
I can't be sure without a picture. Brown sugar should look like wet sand. If it has dried out, brown sugar will form hard lumps. Here is a picture comparing raw sugar with brown sugar: media.mnn.com/assets/images/2014/12/raw-brown-sugar.jpg.638x0_q80_crop-smart.jpg
You can make brown sugar by mixing white sugar with molasses. When white sugar is made from sugar cane juice, the leftover liquid is boiled until it becomes a brown syrup known as molasses. Molasses can be difficult to find outside of the United States so this won't be an option for you. I would just use piloncillo since that is easy to find in Mexico. It is also called panela. This recipe needs 1 cup of dark brown sugar so you want to use an 8 oz. piece of piloncillo. Piloncillo is sold in pieces this size so you don't have to measure. It will look something like this: 1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z1-TVI_wMkk/UglRpD-_-8I/AAAAAAAAFWk/nVgylyqKPoQ/s1600/Piloncillo.jpg Grate it into smaller pieces and melt it over low heat so that it doesn't burn. Add the melted butter so that it won't cool back into a hard block. Let it cool so you can mix in the eggs without cooking them. These are the only changes you need to make with the recipe.
Hummy this recipe lokks delicious! Thanks for sharing will give it a try.
Right on time for Fall! Look forward to making these....

This time of year ESPECIALLY I look forward to your videos because of things like this 😍😌❤️
Hi, so this recipe looks awesome and it's sooo easy which I love but isn't that a lot of butter. Could you substitute some of the butter with something else??
I love pecan pie. I don't ever make them because I'd eat it all. yum I think this is a try recipe for the holidays coming up. thanks
What about vanilla? I used vanilla because it was in the recipe on the website and these muffins are so out of this world delicious!! Thanks Sarah!
Sarah needs to do a guest spot with Chef John from Food Wishes like her Donal Skehan video.
Sarah, if you put a slice of bread in your (sealed) brown sugar container, even if it's hard like a rock, the next day, it will have taken all the moisture from the bread and be soft again! xox
Hi, that's very interesting. I've never heard that before. I'll give it a try:)
True!
hmmmm! interesting.
I use an empty small spice jar, wad up paper towel and add water. Leave in your brown sugar container and it will soften nicely.
I have a quick question, if you toasted the pecans should you top the muffins with the toasted pecans and bake them another 20 min?

No, they will be perfectly fine!
.
brown sugar + pecans = match made in heaven. 😣😋😋 your right Sarah
Pecan Pie muffin. That is what I need for breakfast!
A citrus peel in your brown sugar container helps keep it from clumping. Or as some ppl here have said, you could use a end of your loaf of bread
perfect for me as a pecan addict😅😍
awesomeness 😘👍👏👏👏👏
Thanks! My boyfriend likes pecan pie. I am going to try these on him
Can we make these with whole wheat flour?
yummy!

yum yum!
Can i use soy milk intead of milk? Or maybe is better non dairy cream?
can i use poundcake pan instead of muffin cups?
Esta receta parece una locura.
Would it help lessen the lumps if the brown sugar was sifted before the eggs were added?
You cant really sift brown sugar, its too sticky, ive tried and it was just messy
Shouldn't the nuts reserved for toppers be untoasted since they're going to bake 20 more minutes?
They'll be fine! They don't toast much more once they're napping in a muffin ;)
I disagree. The pecans on top look way too dark. You should reserve untoasted pecans for the top.
First time I'm trying pecan flavour...
Made it today and turned to be salty, so added maple syrup , hoping to turned out delicious
Added syrup maple and still salty
Next time I will try adding half a teaspoon of salt
Thanks for sharing this fantastic recipe, but I would like to know: 12 table spoons of butter = how many grams or oz?
6 oz

thanks can I apply to this recipe? because it says brown sugar it's just course n dry

thank you that is the sugar I have it says it's brown sugar.. is there any way I can make my own brown sugar??

For those of you wondering, that's 8 tablespoons of milk.
I see a bottle of vanilla extract but it's never added on camera!
12 table spoons = 3/4 or 0.75 cup of unsalted butter

Is it pronounced pee-can or puh-khan? 😝
Both are correct, it just depends where you are from.
puh-khan sounds about right ;)
