Pecan Pie Mini Muffins
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! —Pat Schrand, Enterprise, Alabama

Taste good but stick to the pan - even tried them in paper cups and half of the muffin stayed in the paper. We do live at high altitude, so that might be a part of the problem.
I followed the recipe to a T. and mine did not turn out at all mush but I've just moved into a new house with a brand new oven and I'm not used to baking in it so I'm not quite sure I'll try again another time
Delicious!! I followed the recipe except for the flour, I used Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten-free. I also followed the advice in using paper cups with rice underneath to absorb excess grease. I didn’t find them to be greasy at all, I did use real butter. Thank you for the recipe!!
Haven't made these yet. 22 to 25 minutes baking time just doesn't sound right for mini muffins when regular muffins usually take less time.
I have not made these yet. Was at a family reunion today and someone brought them. They are delicious, and I had to ask for the recipe!
Mark and Bfinlayson, what you may check is the settings on your oven, it may be hotter than you think. Lower the heat a bit. Also, you can try putting the mix in paper muffin cups. Here's a trick that may help Mark with the grease factor. Before you put your paper muffin cups in the holder, put about 1 teaspoon (cover the bottom completely) of rice - not instant - in the bottom of your muffin cup. Then put the paper muffin cup in and fill as directed. This helps with the burning bottoms and the rice will absorb the grease. Also, be sure you used butter and not margarine, and maybe reduce it a bit. That margarine stuff's yucky:)
Just dripping with grease. Didn't come up at all, divot in center instead of mound. Burnt on bottom and sides before center got close to done. Only thing I did different was add vanilla. I will try again someday and adjust my rating if they come out. If anyone had any idea's what went wrong would be happy to hear, thanks.
These are delicious but once again they refused to come out of my greased and floured pan. If I make this recipe again I think I will try ot as a nar.
These are amazing! You can’t eat just one! Great with your morning coffee or for something sweet after dinner!
I was first introduced to this recipe from my neighbor last month. I am now on “batch 18!” These are gems ... they freeze well ... and FYI - give them away quick - seriously, addicting! Rating is 10 stars!
