Maple-Pecan Muffins
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup margarine, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans
1 TBSP sugar
1/8 tsp cinnamon
In a large bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt.
In a small bowl, beat egg, milk, syrup, margarine and vanilla.
Add mixture to flour mixture; stir just until moistened.
Batter will be lumpy.
Stir in pecans. Spoon batter into paper-lined or greased muffin cups, filling 2/3 full.
Mix sugar and cinnamon in a cup; sprinkle over batter.
Bake at 400* for 15 - 20 minutes, until golden and a toothpick tests clean.
Serve warm.
Makes one dozen.
Just look at all that Maple-Pecan goodness...
smothered in butter!
Delicious!
