I’m sharing another tried-and-true recipe from my cookbook. I love these mini muffins because they’re delicious, easy to make (you don’t even need a mixer), they freeze well, and they’re done in 20 minutes! I brought these to school today to share in the teacher’s lunch room and they disappeared. Someone also asked for the recipe, so that’s always a good sign!
Keep these in mind if you need something sweet for a brunch. Women seem to appreciate their size. Especially this time of year when we’re getting ready for bathing suit season! This recipe makes 20 mini muffins, so you will need to double or triple the recipe if you’re bringing them to an event. If you want to make a large quantity of these muffins for a buffet, I suggest putting them in a pretty cloth-covered basket. Enjoy!

Hi Jane,
We just love pecan pie so I know that we would just love these muffins. They just look delicious! Thanks for sharing with Full Plate Thursday and come back soon!
Good job. I like your recipe it is both creative and innovative for a pecan pie recipe. I will make some of these later, for sure this will be a top-shot dessert for my family thank you very much.
I really love the idea of eating muffins that tastes like pecan pies or muffin shaped pecan pie. see i’m even confused. hahaha this is really something, Thank you. :)
Thanks a lot!
These are so wonderful, all that gooey sweetness is so delicious. I just got through baking 3 batches of them because my family eats them up so quick. They are a must for Christmas and any that requires me to bring something sweet.occasion. The only issue I have is that I can’t get them out of the pan, so I use the mini muffin liners and they come out in a snap.
I’m so glad you like them, Marieta! :)
