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.
Wonderful Shey! Thanks for sharing.
