Ingredients
8 ozs pecans (approximately 2 cups)
1 ripe banana
3 tablespoons (1.5 oz) maple syrup
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
additional pecan halves for topping the muffins
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350. Line 24 mini muffin tins with papers or grease them well.
Toast the pecans until fragrant, approximately five minutes. Stir them frequently to prevent them from burning.
Transfer the toasted pecans to the blender. Blend on high speed until liquefied. Add the rest of the ingredients to the blender and blend at high speed until well mixed and a bit fluffy.
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling them 3/4 full. Top each one with a pecan half.
Bake 8-10 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Let cool completely on a rack before enjoying.
Notes
Do not try making these muffins in a larger size, the texture will not be right.
