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.

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!

Just made these. The best! They are delicious. They were easy to throw together and didn't stick to the pan. Recipe made exactly 24. Gonna run to get more pecans to make more to give away at church rummage sale!

Wow! These muffins are way too good to be so easy! If you're a pecan pie fan, you'll love them. I took them to a meeting and got many recipe requests.

but I never know whether it should be dark or light brown sugar or does it NOT MATTER?

These are so good and sooo easy. The brown sugar really shines through. I made regular size muffins and got 8 so will certainly double next time. Mine were a little too "crusty" on the outside (baked for 15 min) so maybe a minute or two less next time. So yummy with my morning eggs!
