Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prep the muffin tin by adding parchment paper muffin cups (regular or mini).
Cream the wet ingredients and sugar together with a hand mixer, in a food processor, or by hand.
Add the dry ingredients except for the chocolate chips and pecans. Mix until incorporated.
Fold in (or pulse in if using a food processor) the pecans and optional chocolate chips.
Divide evenly between 24 mini muffin cups or 12 regular muffin cups.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes for the mini muffins, 15 to 17 minutes for the regular muffins. When done a toothpick inserted should come out clean and the tops should be bouncy.
Let cool for 5 minutes and then enjoy!
