Classic Southern Pecan Pie Muffins - 5 simple ingredients and tastes like pecan pie!
Southern Pecan Pie Muffins
I had a taste for these classic Pecan Pie Muffins the other day, so while it's practically a no-recipe, recipe that is in most every Southerner's recipe box, here they are.
I'm afraid the younger generation has lost touch with these anyway so maybe somebody will come along who hasn't ever heard of them! If that's you, they are rich, chewy muffins that tastes a lot like a piece of pecan pie. They really do!
It may seem odd to have a muffin with no added leavening.
To be perfectly honest, I've tried them with self-rising flour and they are delicious but not quite the same. The recipe will work with either flour though.
They are a little bit sticky and delicate, so until you make them a few times I advise using paper liners in your muffin tin just for ease of removal. Lightly spray the paper cups with non-stick spray though so that the muffin doesn't try to adhere to the paper making them crumble to pieces when you pull the paper off.
Look how nice and tender these are and of course, there's plenty of pecan. They are also very nice as mini muffins, just check them a bit earlier and remove them from the pan as soon as you possibly can.
Common on the potluck, funeral food and other social event circles, these delightful muffins are always a hit no matter where you take them, so be prepared to offer up the recipe, just in case somebody doesn't have it. They may not be like your usual classic muffins, but they're super easy to make - 5 simple ingredients is all there is to it.
