This is a relatively quick, simple recipe that I found in various places online and modified slightly. I actually made these as cupcakes, but they are definitely more muffin in style - much denser than cupcakes. The addition of the layer of golden syrup in the middle of the mix gives a nice swirl of sweetness. I used golden syrup as that was what I had in the house but actually any syrup would work well - I would imagine maple syrup would be a good combination with the pecans.
