RICH AND CHEWY PECAN PIE MUFFINS!



Rich and Chewy Pecan Pie Muffins! image

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:

  • Use light brown sugar for a richer flavor and moister texture.
  • 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.

Conclusion:

Rich and chewy pecan pie muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. These muffins are made with a simple batter that is filled with a gooey pecan pie filling. The muffins are then baked until golden brown and served warm. With their rich flavor and chewy texture, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
