Pecan Pie Muffins

I probably shouldn't post this on a site titled "To Your Health" because, aside from the nuts, there's nothing healthy about these little treats. But a little sweetness in life has never hurt anyone, and these were worth the fun. These were so easy to make that Jon and I actually whipped up a batch at 10:30 last night after I found the recipe here, on allrecipes.com. The only thing I changed is that we made them with half whole wheat flour in a desperate attempt to make them a little healthier. They were incredibly good.

Pecan Pie Muffins

Yield: 8-12
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cooking Time: 20 Minutes
Imported From: allrecipes.com

Ingredients:
  ● 1 cup Packed Light Brown Sugar
  ● ½ cups All-purpose/whole wheat Flour
  ● 1 cup Chopped Pecans
  ● ⅔ cups Softened Butter
  ● 2 whole Eggs Beaten

Directions:
Preheat oven 350 F.

In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, and pecans. Stir until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk butter and eggs together until smooth. Stir into the dry ingredients just until combined. Spoon the batter into prepared muffin cups (greased, lined, or silicone). Cups should be about 2/3 full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes (ours actually took closer to 30 minutes). Cool on wire racks when done.

Do NOT forget to try one when it's still hot!
