These maple pecan cupcakes are a delicious and portable dessert that is perfect for parties or potlucks. Made with a food processor, these cupcakes are easy to make and have a moist and tender crumb. To make the cupcakes, simply pulse the pecans in the food processor until they are finely chopped, then add the dry ingredients and pulse again. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients, then add them to the food processor and pulse until everything is well combined. Pour the batter into lined cupcake tins and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once the cupcakes have cooled, you can top them with cream cheese frosting and chopped pecans for a delicious and beautiful finish.
