Pecan Pie Muffins

Tricia Yearwood's Pecan Pie Muffins

These are so awesome! Warning though- they are VERY sweet and rich. Also, make sure to use liners in your muffin tin and give them a very good coasting of non-stick spray or you will have a mess trying to eat them.

Non-stick cooking spray
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 1/3 sticks of butter - melted

Preheat oven to 350 F. Place liners in muffin tins. Spray the liners with cooking spray. The recipe makes 9 standard muffins or about two dozen mini muffins.

In a large bowl, combine the pecans, sugar and flour. Make a well in the center of the mixture.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until foamy. Add the melted butter to the eggs and stir.

Pour the egg mixture into the well of your dry ingredients and stir until moistened. Spoon into the muffin tins filling each one almost full.

Bake for about 20 min or until a toothpick comes out clean. Shorten by 5 min if cooking mini-muffins.
