Pecan Glazed Bran Muffins

I love bran muffins with every fiber of my being. Even more than bran muffins, though, I love pecan glazed bran muffins. They are easy to make and a good-for-you breakfast treat that tastes like dessert.

Preheat oven to 400 F.

Place all of the muffin ingredients into a mixing bowl. Mix until well combined. Set aside while working on the pecan glaze topping.

Place all of the pecan glaze ingredients into a medium bowl and give it a few stirs.

Cover a 12-count muffin tin with cooking spray (even on the top of the pan) and then divide the pecan glaze between the 12 muffin cups.

Give the glaze a stir in each muffin cup so that it coats the sides as much as possible. Then fill with a scoop of the bran muffin batter. Repeat with the remaining batter then put the pan into the oven. Put a baking sheet on the rack under the muffin tin to catch possible drips of glaze.

Bake for about 15 minutes or until muffins are done. When you pull them out of the oven, carefully turn muffin tin upside down onto a clean baking sheet.

These are cute served with a pretty paper doily underneath.
