Pecan Spice Muffins
It’s not often that I don’t give away the vast majority of what I bake. But sometimes I just can’t bear to part with something that Quinn and I both really, really love. That’s the case with these Pecan Spice Muffins. They were just so good that we kept the whole batch to ourselves!
If you’re a fan of spices and nuts, then I think you’ll love these muffins just as much as we do. I used my favorite combination of spices to give these muffins a lovely flavor. I like more subtle flavors for muffins and quick breads, as I think that usually translates much better for something you’re likely to eat for breakfast or an afternoon snack. Of course, if you want a bigger spice flavor, add a tad more spice to suit your tastes.
Five minutes spent here on BoB will show you that I have a soft spot for pecans. They’re my go-to nuts for baking, and I usually have plenty in my kitchen at any given time. If you prefer a different nut, then feel free to make the substitution. Hazelnuts would be a great choice. Or if you like walnuts, those usually substitute easily for pecans.
One of my favorite ways to dress up baked goods is to sprinkle a little coarse sugar on top of them before putting them in the oven. It gives them a little sparkle and an extra bite of sweetness. In keeping with the very brown appearance of these muffins, I used turbinado sugar on top of them. (It’s the brown sugar counterpart to traditional white sanding sugar.) I also reserved a few pecans to sprinkle on top of each muffin to make them a bit more interesting.
If you can bear to part with them, a batch of these muffins is great for sharing with family and friends. You can always whip up another batch to keep all to yourself.

Jennifer, these little cuties look super moist and yummy! Can’t wait to try them out… ahhh, the one thing I can dig about fall is the baking. Pumpkins, pecans, spices, etc. make fall that much sweeter 🙂
Haha SAME! I know a recipe is REALLY good when I don’t want to share! Which I’m pretty sure I would experience with these…all those fall spices. So good!
These little cute muffins looks yummy and delicious.You can say just mouth watering sure try them at some occasion.
Good luck and happy baking
Love spice muffins. Not so sure it’s easy to get pecans here though? (I live in Bangkok), so may have to substitute walnuts, which I think will work as well. Must say I do sometimes miss fall in the US, though 🙂
Nice photos too, btw.
Yes, these look WONDERFUL! Just the kind of thing I’ve been wanting to bake for fall. 🙂 Warm and spicy and nutty, and perfect first thing in the morning with my cup of coffee. 🙂 Can’t wait to make!
These are perfect! I am having a work party for the first day of fall … I can’t wait to bake these and bring them in!
oh yes I def. don’t think I’d be able to share these either!
