With the snow piling up outside, it'll be a good weekend to bake. I made these muffins last week for a snack day at work. With most of the office and several in the factory participating in the weight loss challenge, it may not have been a good idea to bring muffins; but should you have heard what they said about the guy who brought Krispy Kreme donuts!
CINNAMON PECAN MUFFINS
3/4 cup soft butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
pinch of salt
1 cup sour cream
TOPPING
1/2 cup chopped pecans
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1/3 cup granulated sugar
Cream the butter and sugar; blend in vanilla and eggs. Sift together flour, baking powder, soda, and salt. Pour the flour mixture and the sour cream into the butter mixture and stir the ingredients by hand until blended. If the batter is too dry, addd a splash of milk.
Grease muffin tins or line with papers. Mix topping ingredients together. Drop one tablespoon of batter into each muffin paper. Sprinkle with one teaspoon of topping. Top with one more tablespoon of batter and then one more teaspoon of topping. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 375° or until a tester comes out clean.
Hope you like these!

Those sounds wonderful, Mary! Hope you don't get bombarded with too much more snow. What a winter we've all had - especially in your neck of the woods! Happy baking.. enjoy your weekend! -Tammy
Yes please, I'll take a dozen. Excuse me, how am I supposed to stay warm in the winter if I diet and lose a bunch of weight - I'm only thinking of my warmth!! ha ha Those sound fab - I'll copy it now ~ ♥
These sound really good! I'm getting really tired of the old chocolate-banana standby, I think cinnamon would do the trick quite nicely!
Have a wonderful weekend
