I received sponsor products to use in my recipes from Millican Pecan and Door County Coffee & Tea Company as part of the Flavors of Fall promotion. As always, all opinions are my own.
Cinnamon Pecan Muffins welcome autumn with warm flavors and crunchy nuts. Great for breakfast, coffee break or midnight snack.
Welcome to Flavors of Fall where we celebrate all things associated with fall like squash, apples, pecans, sweaters, football; you get the idea! Ellen from Family Around the Table and Christie from A Kitchen Hoor’s Adventures have gathered 24 bloggers who have over 100 recipes they’re sharing this week in celebration of cool weather and sweatshirts. We hope you find many must make recipes so get your pinning, tweeting, and sharing fingers ready!
Cinnamon is my go to fall spice. I love the smell of these muffins baking! Warm or cold these muffins make fall feel present and accounted for!
Pecans add a bit of sweet crunch. I prefer Millican Pecan pecans. These nuts hold up their flavor and texture, never dry or overly oily.
