Pecan Pie Muffins

I saw this recipe at the Tasty Kitchen via a gal named BlackhawkWife.  The name caught my attention.  I need no excuse to consume pecan pie in the morning, but when they come in a muffin form, people talk less.  This is perfect for fall.  The recipe doesn't get a lot simpler.  I think these are best after a night of rest.  Aren't we all better after a nice rest?  It took me awhile to wrap my mind around the idea that they aren't super sweet.  I usually like to feel my teeth rotting when I bite into something, but then I realized these really are little pecan pies.  Not too sweet, a little bit squishy in the center with a nice little crust around the edge.  I think I'll go make nine more....and this is the recipe I'll use to make 'em.
