Becki & Her Baking.....

I have noticed over on Becki's FB page that she has some cool recipes - however one day I just happened upon a recipe for Pecan Pie Muffins. I LOVE pecans - and love pecan pie  - but oh wait pie has a crust - a crust is made with regular flour - oops - need a GF pecan pie....

Well - Pecan Pie Muffins to the rescue!!!

I mentioned on Becki's page that I was going to keep the recipe just as she had written it....

1 cup of packed brown sugar, 1/2 cu all purpose flour, 1 cup chopped pecans, 2/3 cup melted butter, 2 eggs beaten.  Preheat over to 330 degrees.  Spray muffin tins real good with Baker's Joy (MUST use Baker's Joy or they will stick!).   ...... (she's away from FB for a bit and comes back) Yes, one teaspoon vanilla.  Stir together brown sugar, flour and pecans.  In separate bowl slowly pour melted butter into butter and whisk.  Add egg/butter to dry ingredients until combined.  Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups about 2/3 full.  I bake regular muffins at 330 degrees for 17-18 minutes and mini muffins for 15-17 minutes.  Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes.  If necessary run a knife around the edges and pop out of tins.  I double the recipe and got 12 regular muffins.  - Sorry for the delay....(away a moment and comes back) pour melted butter into beaten eggs.  Geez - can you tell I am a bit rattled.  I will settle down in a minute.  Another muffin might help, wonder how they taste with wine.


I love my friend Becki - her husband is my friend Dee.  Dee hired me for my first administrator job and he was an amazing person to work for and with.  I adored the Didriksens.  Dee and Son two share a birthday!  Becki is a sweet person - and this recipe was shared in the middle of her caring about family members.  I love that she took time to share - and oh my heavens I am glad!!!

Becki’s Pecan Pie Muffins the GF Way! (recipe is posted on the Recipes I Love page....)

Stir together:

2/3 cup melted butter

2 eggs beaten

1 tsp. vanilla

The add and mix:

1 cup brown sugar

½ cup all purpose flour (nearly all purpose GF flour – I have that recipe too)

1 tsp Xanthum gum (leave this out if you are making the non GF recipe)

1 cup chopped pecans

Spoon into muffin tins that have been heavily sprayed with some kind of spray that keeps things from sticking (I have used Pam for baking - but check the ingredients.... it has wheat flour!).  Bake at 330 degrees for about 15 minutes.  Let them sit for about 5 minutes after they come out of the oven.  They are done when they look like a pecan pie does.....- remember they will set up a bit as they cool.  he above ingredients make 6 muffins – I used the above plus ½ and got a dozen.

However - DON'T use the cupcake liners..... better just to spray!

I miss seeing my friends - they live in the Heart of Texas now...... So glad we have that medium FB to keep in touch (and share recipes!).
