    Pecan-Oat Muffins

    Recipe By :Shirley and Maria Streshinsky
    Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00
    Categories :

    Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
    -------- ------------ --------------------------------
    3/4 cup Minced pecans
    1 cup Rolled oats, quick or old-fashioned
    1/2 cup Unbleached white flour
    1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
    1 1/2 teaspoons Baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon Salt -- (rounded measure)
    1 cup Buttermilk or yogurt
    1 Egg
    4 tablespoons Butter -- melted
    6 tablespoons Brown sugar
    1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla extract

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease 12 muffin cups. Dry-roast the pecans and oats in a skillet over low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats are lightly browned.
    Sift together flour, soda, baking powder, and salt into a medium-size bowl. Stir in the toasted oats and pecans and make a well in the center. In a separate container, beat together the remaining ingredients, and pour this mixture into the well. Mix just enough to blend. Fill the muffin cups 2/3 full, and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
    This recipe yields 12 muffins.

    P.S. "OATS! A BOOK OF WHIMSEY" is a great name for a book!

    HELP!

    I've made this twice now and each time, my muffins are not very high.
    What am I doing wrong??
    The only change I made was to add oil instead of butter...could that do it??

    Any info would be appreciated...

    TIA

    Mine were not very high either, but they weren't the flattest of the muffin recipes I've tried either. I don't really know how high a muffin should be. I assumed from the comments I read on this board that muffins sometimes are very small, only 2 bites, so I thought they were OK. Still, all in all, they were very delicious, the best of the ones I've tried so far. I hope I didn't give you a bad recipe.

    Hopefully one of the experienced cooks can help.

    I'm glad they were good. I'm on a quest for healthy delicious muffins under 200 calories, preferably around 150 calories. I'm trying a new recipe every week. In a little while I'll be a better judge of muffins.

    I ordered all kinds of dried fruit from King Arthur to make muffins with. I can't wait to receive my order.

    It's been mentioned on this board that when it comes to muffins, it's best to cook them at 400°F (even if the recipe says otherwise, like this one). Oh and be careful not to overbeat.

    Let me check...
    OK, here is the thread I was thinking of.

    HTH!
