Eat these Lemon Pecan Muffins for breakfast or afternoon snack. They're deliciously light with a hint of lemon flavor. Try them yourself!
I love just about anything with lemon and since I haven't made a new dessert or snack since the Flourless Lemon Almond Torte back in March, it was about time for a new experiment. I actually found a few of my other muffin recipes and took pieces from each one to create these Lemon-Pecan Muffins.
I'm a "throw it all in together" kind of baker and don't like to make desserts that are overly complicated. Well, at least they seem complicated to me. Cooking is definitely more my forte!
These Lemon-Pecan Muffins were DELICIOUS and so light and airy. They were more like a cupcake than a muffin and had just the right amount of lemon and the right combination of tart and sweet.
How do you make Lemon Pecan Muffins?
For this recipe you'll need eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, Canola oil, milk, lemons, all purpose flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and chopped pecans.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until blended; then stir in the pecans. Line cupcake tins with liners or spray with cooking spray; then add batter until it is three-quarters of the way filled.
Bake for 15-20 minutes in a 350 degree F oven or until tops spring back when touched or when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
I enjoyed mine with cup of tea in the afternoon and then froze the rest to pick on in the coming weeks. If you prefer, you can also make this recipe in a loaf pan to make a quick bread instead; then slice and sprinkle with a little powdered sugar to serve for dessert or Mother's Day Brunch. ~Enjoy!
