Pecan Pie Mini Muffins - Tiny, Tasty Treats

Pecan Pie Mini Muffins
These treats are the perfect sweet, nutty bite and come together in no time. The hardest part is cleaning up the muffin pan! They are loved by everyone in my family so hope you give them a try.
Makes about 24 mini muffins
Ingredients
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1 cup soft light brown sugar
½ cup flour
Dash of cinnamon
2 eggs
2/3 cup melted butter
1 tsp vanilla
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a bowl mix brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and pecans together.
3. Combine butter, eggs and vanilla in a separate bowl or measuring cup. Add to the flour mixture and stir to combine.
4. Use a small cookie scoop or a teaspoon to fill the mini muffin pan with the mixture- about 2/3 full. The mixture will be thick and sticky.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips
1. I like using a silicone mini muffin pan for this recipe as the batter is very sticky and can stick to the sides of a metal pan. If using a metal pan, be sure to use paper liners sprayed with cooking spray for easy removal.
2. If using a silicone pan- let the muffins cool completely in the pan before removing.
3. Soft light brown sugar is a must! It helps the muffins to develop a beautiful colour and a caramelized, crunchy exterior.
4. Don’t be tempted to remove the muffins from the oven too early- you want them to develop a nice colour and crust. Keep your eye on these muffins the last few minutes of baking- they can easily go from perfectly golden to burnt in no time- trust me, I know.

My pecan pie muffins always stick like glue to the pan. I'm going to order one like yours. Did you grease this pan in any way? When I get my new pan and get your advice, I'll give your way a go. Thank you for posting this!

[@kandiskitchen]

I got this silicone mini muffin pan from Target, but you can find similar ones on Amazon or in baking stores. I don’t grease the pan. When using the silicone pan make sure the baked muffins are very cool before removing, if you try to remove them while they are still hot they will break. Hope this helps and let me know how it turns out! Thanks for stopping by🙂

@@kandiskitchen My new muffin pan arrived and I made quite a few of your pecan pie mini muffins. I followed your directions exactly, and the results were wonderful! I passed several around to my extended family and they were fighting over them! I'm sure to make many more in the future. Thank you so much!
