Pecan Muffins


Serves: 12
Total Calories: 138

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (Mexican canela or Ceylon variety preferred)
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup pecans, pieces
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup puréed pitted prune
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Butter 12 1/3-cup muffin cups. In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, put all of the dry ingredients and pulse 8 to 10 times to blend. Add the pecans and process until the nuts are finely ground, 10 to 12 seconds. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until just mixed.

2. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups until they are about 2/3 full. Bake until browned on top and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 15 to 18 minutes. Invert the muffins onto a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
