Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 425°F (220°C) and give a 24-cup mini muffin tin a quick spray with cooking spray to keep the muffins from sticking. In a bowl, whisk together the butter, honey, eggs, and vanilla until everything is well combined. In another bowl, mix the brown sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Make a little well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently just until everything comes together — don’t overmix!

Step 2
Next, sprinkle half of the chopped pecans into the bottom of each muffin cup. Spoon the batter evenly over the pecans, filling the cups almost to the top, then sprinkle the remaining pecans on each one. Pop the pan into the oven and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the muffins rest in the pan for about 5 minutes before taking them out to enjoy.
