We got a new puppy a month ago. A sweet little bassett hound. We named her Summer… because, we’re creative like that. This is Summer (aka Summer Time, Summer Sunshine, Sunshine, … or I like Doggie Dog – because I’m especially creative!)
This is Summer.
I know, I know, cute right?
We have a house full of boys, I’m the only girl (before Summer came along).
And it’s safe to say that at 10 and 7 we haven’t talked much about, uh, the difference in boys and girls yet.
If you ask Lincoln and Ryder, girls have long hair and smell good.
Imagine my surprise when they started talking about ‘milk dots’.
Do you know what a ‘milk dot’ is?
Ryder proclaimed,
”Summer is going to have 8 babies because that’s how many ‘milk dots’ she has! See, Mommie, right here, 8. I counted them!”
”Summer is going to have 8 babies because that’s how many ‘milk dots’ she has! See, Mommie, right here, 8. I counted them!”
Hmmmmm, I am not continuing this conversation with them! That’s a Daddy thing!
On to Pecan Pie Muffins!!
I got this recipe from Tasty Kitchen and I don’t think in the history of me trying a new recipe that I have made one without changing something.
I did not alter anything about this recipe. They are fantastic. But, it makes a very small batch, like six. That’s good and bad!! Just know if you plan to feed a lot you’ll need to double the batch.
Stir brown sugar, pecans and flour together
Cut butter into brown sugar/pecan mixture
Mix until just combined.
Spoon into a muffin tin.
Pecan Pie Muffins
1 c light brown sugar
1/2 c all purpose flour
1 c chopped pecans
2/3 c softened butter
2 whole eggs, beaten
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease muffin pan. In a large bowl, stir together brown sugar, flour and pecans. Cut in butter until mixture resembles wet sand. In another bowl, beat eggs. Add eggs to dry mixture and stir until combined. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop mixture into muffin pans. Bake 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in pan 5 to 10 minutes, loosening with knife around edges to prevent from sticking. Remove and cool on wire rack. Great warm.

Oh my goodness, I can almost smell these through my computer, must try!
Muffins look great! And what a cute puppy.
Paula, I am loving you biscuits and now this muffin recipe! I'm a carboholic …. and pecan pie?! LOVE this
Cute puppy – I'm real original at pet names too – Growing up we had a Pomeranian I named “Cricket” … a parakeet I named “Heifer” …. Another parakeet we called JB (Just Bird) …. Between the inability to identify the correct animal/species and JB – I needed help

Pecan Pie is my biggest weakness so I can only imagine that I could eat all 6 of these by myself. I'd have to double the batch….LOL

Thanks, they were really good! Your post was great!
I used to buy a mix from Homemade Gourmet for mini pecan pie muffins. I think I may have just found the recipe (they are no longer in business). I am so excited!!!
