Pecan Pie Muffins

My friend Paulette made these for us when we went to visit her & Edd in Alabama. I have only made them once myself, but they are good enough to share!

1 c. brown sugar
1 c. chopped pecans
½ c. flour
½ t. baking powder
¼ t. salt
1 stick butter
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 t. vanilla

Combine first 5 ingredients in large bowl. Make well in center of mix. Stir together butter, eggs & vanilla. Add to dry ingredients. Stir until just moistened. Spoon into lightly greased muffin pans. Bake at 425. Regular muffins, cook for 10+min. Mini muffins, cook for 8-10 minutes.

The inspiration

For a couple of years I have been typing up recipes and dreaming of getting them all into a book - one place that I can look for all of our go-to recipes we've compiled over the first 15 years of our marriage. But I hit a slump and became discouraged that this was never going to happen. Until the other night when I was talking to my friends Julie and Eric and they loved the idea, and Eric suggested that instead of a book, I create a blog! This way I could post what I already have typed up, it would all be in one spot, and maybe someday if I ever do actually get it put into a cookbook, it will be ready!
