Sugar Free Pecan Muffins

Sugar free pecan muffins contain - you guessed it - pecan nuts. And the great part is that the nuts themselves are slightly sweet, and they add texture to the muffins.

The original recipe, from which this one has been adapted, calls try, Collages for Graham flour, which is a type of very popular American whole-wheat flour that is slightly coarser than most regular ground flour. It was developed by the Reverend Sylvester Graham who was an American cleric from Connecticut, who believed in healthy foods consider, RC Boat Hobby and is considered to be a primary (certainly in the US) forerunner in the health food checkout, Kids Robot industry. If you can't find Graham flour, then just opt for another type of whole-wheat or whole meal flour. It might take a bit of experimentation to find one that works, but that's what successful cooking and baking is all about.

Both have a lovely sweet flavour.

To make these sugar free pecan muffins sugar-free, use either Xylitol or Stevia powder, or one of the other many supplements on the market. Or you could cheat and use 4 tablespoons of brown sugar instead - we won't tell.
