Ingredients

  • 1 C. pecans
  • 2 C. all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 C. wheat germ
  • 4 tsps. baking powder
  • 1/2 C. milk
  • 1/2 C. maple syrup
  • 1/2 C. corn oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tbs. brown sugar
  • Pinch salt

Directions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Chop pecans roughly, reserving 1/4 C. In a large bowl,mix nuts with flour, wheat germ,baking powder and salt.

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, corn oil, and egg. Pour into dry ingredients and mix to combine; do not worry if mixture is lumpy.

  3. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper or foil baking cups. Spoon batter into cups. Chop reserved nuts a bit finer and mix with brown sugar; sprinkle a bit of this mixture on top of each muffin.

  4. Bake for 20 min. Muffins will be pale, not golden. Place muffins on a cooling rack, but eat while they are still warm, with butter or syrup drizzled over them.
