RICH AND CHEWY PECAN PIE MUFFINS!
This recipe came from Trisha Yearwood, who married Garth Brooks and wrote a cookbook called Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma kitchen with a forward by Garth Brooks himself! Gotta try these! :) Be sure to use paper liners in the muffin tins and spray them with nonstick spray; otherwise, they will crumble when you peel off the liners. This recipe also makes great mini muffins; just shorten the baking time by 5 minutes. You might also try using oat flour instead of all purpose for a healthier muffin.

Tips:

- Toast the pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. This will enhance their flavor and make them crunchier.
- Use a muffin pan with a nonstick coating or line it with paper liners to prevent the muffins from sticking.
- Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full, as they will rise during baking.
- Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For a gooey pecan pie filling, use dark corn syrup instead of light corn syrup.
- Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract to the batter for a more flavorful muffin.
- Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with chopped pecans before baking for a crunchy topping.
- Serve the muffins warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
