Cinnamon Pecan Muffins

Hi guys! Happy May! It is one of my favorite months because the weather is so nice. I thought I'd share my favorite muffin recipe because I love muffins. They're not just for breakfast! I love them any time of day for a snack. These muffins make your whole house just smell like a bakery and anytime I make them, it just boosts my mood so much! This recipe was born from me having a bag of pecans and not knowing what to do with it aside from making a pecan pie. I took my basic muffin recipe and added some cinnamon and pecans and voila, the cinnamon pecan muffin was made!

3. In a large bowl, combine sugar, stevia, egg, applesauce, and almond milk.

4. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
