Pecan Cornmeal Muffins

These Pecan Cornmeal Muffins are full of sweet flavor and satisfying crunch. These muffins combine the sweet, buttery crunch of Butter Pecan with the soft, fluffy flavor of fresh cornmeal cake. I keep calling it a dessert, but I won't tell anyone if you decide to have one for breakfast with your coffee. Delicious!
