PECAN PIE MUFFINS

February 20, 2014 by predominantlypaleo 2 Comments

 

PECAN PIE MUFFINS have a certain comfort they provide by combining the best of both worlds…


These muffins have been on my mind for awhile now. They have a gluten filled sister recipe that is so good that even after being gluten free for 5 years, I still think about them! Well now this grain free dairy free refined sugar free equivalent puts that other muffin to shame. 

There is just something about pecan pie that is so rich and decadent but not quite great for everyday eating. But when you convert that delicious flavor profile to a muffin, now we’re talking about perfect for all occasions!

So enjoy this lil treat, one that you can certainly bake up for breakfast, for entertaining, or for a slightly sweet treat with tea. I promise you if you are a pecan fan like I am you’ll love these to pieces!

    I made these last night and they were super tasty. I did not have avocado oil, so I substituted pecan oil. I also added a little cinnamon and a little bit of coffee. They look pretty and taste yummy. My 9 year old had one for breakfast and wanted more. She’s not a big eater, so that was pretty validating.

About

Jennifer is a wife and mother of 3 in pursuit of better health for her family.
After being gluten free for 4 years, and having a multitude of chronic health issues, she realized there was still too much processed “food” in her pantry and change was needed. Jennifer began feeding her family more meals from WHOLE foods and less from boxes. Her recipes are predominantly paleo, meaning they are free of grain, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar, but make allowances for a few treats and sweets. She believes food can be medicine when used appropriately and that a few changes now can equate to huge benefits later. Healthy food does not need to be flavorless and void of personality, which she aims to accomplish through her many recipes.
