Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.

Step 2

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl.

Step 3

Combine milk, vegetable oil, and egg in a separate bowl; beat with an electric mixer until thoroughly blended. Pour into flour mixture and mix until moist; do not overmix. Fold in pecans and transfer about 2/3 cup batter to each prepared muffin cup.
