I love pecan pie anytime of the year and these satisfies my cravings. This is a very easy recipe but decadent and rich dessert. These are NOT you average cupcakes and are similar to pecan pie with a cake like texture. My son brought me this cupcake from a lady here in town that sells them and wanted me to figure out the recipe, so after looking for the recipe this is what i came up with, with a little tweaking on my own. These cupcakes need NO frosting at all. Hope you enjoy these.
