Maple Pecan Pie Muffins

Teresa Ambra

I love Maple Syrup. It beats corn syrup any day of the week. Well, Maple Syrup and Maple Extract work wonderfully in recipes too. I have a fantastic Maple Pecan Pie recipe. It’s so rich and decadent. Maple Pecan Pie Muffins are just as rich and delightful. You get the lovely flavors of maple, added with pecans, but in a muffin instead. Oh my.

I was asked to make some breakfast items for a Mother-Daughter Tea at our church. Several friends were making breakfast casseroles, I chose to make muffins instead. Those included Pumpkin Streusel Muffins, Maple Apple Pie Muffins and these jewels. We loved how each one turned out and the ladies putting out all the goodies where thrilled to get them.

Maple Pecan Pie Muffins are excellent for weekend, company or even holiday breakfasts. For those of you who enjoy a sweet with your coffee in the mornings, these muffins are fantastic. They have great texture and the maple flavor definitely takes these muffins up a notch.

And if you just can’t get enough Maple Syrup (like me), drizzle some more over the top of the muffins before serving. Yum.

    Hello! These look delicious! Have you ever tried making them gluten free? Just curious! Or have you tried like a mix of g.f. flour and almond flour?

      Yes, I just tried a batch of gluten free. I prefer using Cup4Cup brand GF flour and I recommend adding an extra teaspoon of baking powder to the recipe.
