Pecan Pie Muffins

I love pecan pie. And these taste exactly like pecan pie.

These are not healthy, but they taste so good that I don’t care. I bought amazing roasted pecans at the Farmer’s Market a few weekends ago, and they were absolutely perfect for these muffins. They are so simple and so delicious.

You have no excuse for not making these. Unless you don’t like pecan pie…in which case I might be judging you a little bit. But only a little :)

Here’s what you need (from Tasty Kitchen)…

1 cup of packed light brown sugar

½ cup of all purpose flour

1 cup of chopped pecans

2/3 cup of melted butter (1 stick + 3 tbsp of a second stick)

2 eggs

Here’s what you do (makes 12 muffins)…

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Melt your butter. Then, whisk together butter and eggs in one bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, and pecans.

3. Pour your butter/egg mixture into your flour/brown sugar/pecan mixture and stir well until smooth (except, of course, for the pecans).

4. Pour your batter into a muffin tin filling each cup up about 2/3 of the way. 

5. Bake for 22 minutes (or until a toothpick comes out of the center clean), let cool, then ENJOY!

These were the perfect Sunday treat, however, Justin will be going into the office tomorrow armed with some muffins so I don't eat the rest tomorrow.

Have a wonderful week!!
