Do I really need to say more? Maple. Pecan. Oatmeal. Muffins.
My first recipe for fall 2019. First of all, maple and pecan are a match made in heaven. Add some oatmeal in the mix and you’re keeping it healthy. It’s basically a salad. Right? Okay, not quite. But these muffins are high in fiber and antioxidants thanks to the oatmeal!
These maple pecan oatmeal muffins are hearty, filled with fall flavors and have a great crunch thanks to the pecans. They are screaming my name at the moment because I’m sitting here with my cup of coffee and my stomach is starting to growl. Knowing I have a big pan of them in my kitchen makes it hard to resist.
