Paleo Pecan Pie Muffins
I’m back with another delicious muffin recipe. You guys seem to love muffins as much as I do and I’ve had so much great feedback on my Paleo Pumpkin Muffins. I definitely think you’ll love these just as much! This recipe is inspired by these muffins I saw on another blogger’s site. I knew a couple easy changes and they could be paleo. They came out so amazing- I couldn’t quit eating them!
They are a dense muffin- no leavener is used so they are almost like a pecan bar in muffin form. So so good! The coconut oil keeps them so moist and the tiny bit of molasses adds a real depth of flavor. I added mini chocolate chips to half the batch- if you’re a chocolate lover than I highly recommend it, but they’re definitely not needed.
