Pecan Muffins in Blood Orange Syrup
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the chopped pecans.
-
Spoon the batter into a greased muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
-
While the muffins are baking, prepare the blood orange syrup by heating the blood orange juice and powdered sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and the syrup has thickened slightly.
-
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle the blood orange syrup over the warm muffins.
-
Allow the muffins to cool completely before serving.
