This is not my recipe, but they are so dang good, I just had to share them! To make it even more indulgent, dish out a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on one while it is still warm, and drizzle with a little caramel sauce...or even chocolate sauce! Worth every calorie!!!

How To Make pecan pie muffins

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350. Generously grease 12 muffin cups. Grease them well or the muffins will stick. Baker's Joy is recommended.
  • Step 2
    In a medium bowl, stir together brown sugar, flour and pecans.
  • Step 3
    In a separate bowl, beat the butter and eggs together. Stir into dry ingredients just until combined.
