Easiest Muffins By Trisha Yearwood Recipes

PECAN-PIE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place paper liners in 9 muffin cups and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, combine the pecans, sugar and flour. Make a well in the center of the mixture.
• In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until foamy. Add the melted butter and stir to combine. Pour the egg mixture into the well in the dry ingredients, stirring until moistened.
• Spoon the batter into the cups, filling each almost full. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in a muffin, about 20 minutes.

MEL'S BANANA MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours, wheat germ, baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars together in a separate bowl until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. In a separate bowl, combine the mashed bananas with the milk and vanilla. With the mixer on low, alternately add one-third of the flour mixture and half of the banana mixture to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Fold in the blueberries.
• Divide the batter among the muffin cups. Bake 20 to 24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
