Preparation

Step 1

Chop pecans and chocolate chips in food processor or by hand to your desired consistency. (I like my pecans fairly ground)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 12 muffin paper liners.

Whisk together Dry Ingredients in a medium bowl.
Whisk together Wet Ingredients in a large bowl.

Gently sift Dry Ingredient into Wet Ingredients and stir by hand until just combined, no more then 10 seconds – they should still be lumpy. Do not over mix!

Fill prepared muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 15 - 20 minutes.
