Barbara’s Pecan Pie Muffins

Barbara and I started together at Humana. She was a sweet, funny, older woman who brought these muffins to a potluck for our training class and I was hooked. These muffins are the perfect way to enjoy pecan pie without all the hassle. Barbara passed away a year or so later, but her muffins live on. RIP Barbara.
