Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with liners.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined.
  4. Divide the cupcake batter evenly into the cupcake liners, filling each about halfway.
  5. In a medium bowl, mix together corn syrup, brown sugar, chopped pecans, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  6. Spoon a tablespoon of the pecan filling over the batter in each cupcake liner.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a unique twist, substitute maple syrup for corn syrup or add a dash of cinnamon for extra flavor.
