Ingredients

  • cup unsalted butter (74 grams)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (50 grams)
  • cup real maple syrup (104 grams)
  • 1 cup plain yogurt (227 grams)
  • 2 large eggs

  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a muffin pan with paper liners or grease with butter and dust with flour.
  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue to cook until browned, swirling the pan as necessary to promote even cooking. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the browned butter, maple syrup, yogurt, and eggs. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar. baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add the wet ingredients all at once and stir until just combined. Add the chopped pecans.
  • Fill the muffin pan with the muffin batter, filling each cup about ⅔ full. Top each with a pecan half. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15-18 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • The muffins will keep in an airtight container for several days.
