We have some friends staying the weekend with us and I wanted to make something sweet for us to eat on while they are here. I make a great cheesecake and had considered that but realized I don't have any graham cracker for crust, so I trolled my go to favorite sweet-thing baker's site, the Pioneer Woman and found this thanks to her recipe database. Except I put my own little spin on the recipe.
Glazed Pecan Pie Muffins
What you'll need:
2 eggs
1 stick softened butter
1 c packed light brown sugar
1/2 c all purpose flour
1 c chopped pecans
1 t ground cinnamon
1/4 t nutmeg
Glaze: 1/2 c powdered sugar, 2-3 T cold milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a muffin pan and set aside. In a small bowl, mix together the eggs and butter until thoroughly blended. In a larger bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients- sugar, flour, pecans, cinnamon, and nutmeg until blended evenly. Slowly add wet ingredients into the dry, stirring until just combined. Spoon mixture into muffin cups until cups are about 2/3 full. Bake for 20-25 mins. Remove muffins from pan and set on wire rack or other flat surface until well cooled.
For glaze, in a small bowl, pour in powdered sugar. Very slowly add in the milk, stirring constantly as you pour. The mixture should be thick and gooey... almost the consistency of honey. Place in freezer for ten minutes. Mix very slightly, then drizzle on top of the muffins. Set the muffins in the fridge for 30 min. to set the glaze. Remove, warm, and serve!
Ratings from the Experts*: Ooo la la. 10/10. Sweet, with a myriad of tastes, warm, and fabulous!
