Meet the Cook: While these are delicious year-round, you could easily turn them into an edible Christmas gift. They look festive on a decorative tray wrapped in red or green cellophane or tucked into a giveaway cookie plate. And don't forget to include the recipe so your recipient can enjoy this treat over and over again! I'm planning to share my muffins with the ladies in my church group and also with the Alabama Farmer's Federation, of which I'm a member. -Pat Schrand, Enterprise, Alabama

Big Batch Baked GoodsWe enjoy homemade baked goods for breakfast, but I don’t have time to bake each morning before school. So I devote 1 day a month to making large batches of cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, cream cheese rolls and muffins. I place them in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags labeled with the date. (They freeze for about 2 months.) On busy mornings, it’s a snap to pop a few in the microwave to warm. The kids love the fresh-baked flavor. —Lori T., New London, Texas

My husband's friends are crazy for these muffins. He gets sad faces from them when I bake something else for him to share. I add half a bag of Heath toffee chips. The toffee chips are the ones without the chocolate.

I have been making these for years. Everybody falls in love with them! They are so easy to make, no one will know if you don't tell them. Give them a try! A real winner.

I cooked them for 22 minutes and they can be used for stones - I think I will start checking at 15 minutes! But- they would be delicious if they weren't so hard!

These were so good my husband would not let me take them to a family gathering! I too had a problem getting them out of the pan. I sprayed it with Pam but I think next time Pam with flour otherwise a perfect little pecan pie.

So easy to make. I've made these several times & get many compliments. Mine don't stick & I use Pam Baking Made with Flour spray. I fill my muffin tins almost completely to the top. I have made them & froze them for a couple of weeks & once thawed they still had a good texture.

These are delicious. What a great way to satisfy your craving for pecan pie without all the calories. My husband loves them. They are great with morning coffee.

This is a very ordinary muffin. It is not like a pecan pie or a decent muffin and it does stick badly to the sides and bottoms no matter how much you spray with cooking spray. A waste of good pecans. There are much better recipes than this one.

Quick to make and the miniature size is perfect. These are very moist and are great to take to potluck gatherings.

I love this recipe and have made them several times; however, I can NEVER get them to come out of the muffin tins, no matter how much I grease and flour the pans or how soon I try to get them out. If you can give me a secret tip, I'd love to be able to make these successfully.

They really do taste like pecan pie muffins...they get a little crunchy once the cool.
