I love pecans. In everything. Desserts. Vegetable dishes at Thanksgiving. As a crust on salmon. Or soaked, Nourishing Traditions style, to snack on by the handful.

But ESPECIALLY in chocolate chip cookies.

It wasn’t until I was a grown-up that I realized that pecans are a Southern thang. I had NO IDEA that not everybody loves pecans in EVERYTHING. Well, yankees maybe. But that’s probably it.

My favorite pecan recipe lately? These heavenly pecan muffins. With so much healthy goodness packed into them, they’re not only delicious, but I feel good about feeding them to my kids for breakfast.
