Made with a combination of pecans, brown sugar, and butter, these gems are a perfect blend of sweet and nutty flavors.

To make Pecan Pie Gems, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a mini muffin tin. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Next, add the egg to the mixture and stir until fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Spoon the batter into the greased muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the gems are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once done, remove the gems from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
