I thought I would do something I really like doing - blog hopping. I came upon this recipe at RecipeZaar for pecan pie muffins. The comments were all raving about how they resembled pecan pie and everyone was giving it a 5 star rating. With only a few ingredients I thought I had nothing to lose by giving them a try. I'm telling you - if you have the ingredients in your house - make them now and then get ready to make a second batch. They really do have a pecan pie type of taste to them with a muffin texture. So good. They're minis and pop right out of the mini muffin tins and directly into your mouth. It's funny how that works. I had to throw them in freezer bags immediately otherwise today could easily have been a 3000 calorie day - noooo problem.
Ingredients:
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
2/3 cup butter, melted
2 eggs
Process:
1. Preheat oven to 350 F
2. Combine everything in a bowl
3. Spray 2 mini muffin tins about 3/4 full
4. Bake 18 minutes
Could it get any easier

Giz!!!!! What about my diet? How can you post about Pecan pie muffins now? Well, since weekends are free diet... maybe I should start baking and try your delicious madalenas :D Your words convinced me!!!
I love pecan pie - so I want to try these right away!
These sound tasty! I love muffins and I had wondered what's the difference between them and cupcakes. Mind you I've had muffins with icing before and cupcakes without icing too.
Yum - another great muffin recipe! I adore pecan pie, so I want to give these a go.
