Mini Pecan Muffins

Submitted by Nimz_

"This was given to me by my Mom who got it from one of her friends that made it for her when she couldn't eat after going through Chemo. They are absolutely wonderful and so easy to make. I did not leave out any spices, because these don't have any. Just a wonderful flavor."

After reading comments about how the muffins have a tendency to stick I used Pan Release Recipe #78579(never fails) on my silicone mini muffin pan instead of spray. Made 24 mini muffins, cooled for 10 min and not one crumb stuck to the pan. Followed recipe exactly and they turned out to perfection. GREAT FLAVOR!

rich, decadent, delicious :) made them for my boy and he adored them, he gave one to his friend and was asked for the recipe! it is very moist and dense, i chopped the pecans very coarsely which i thought added a great texture, crunchy as well as gooey. thank you!

Excellent muffin! I baked in regular size muffin tins and used the aluminum liners and they did not stick. I got 10 full size muffins. I served with a smear of cream cheese and it was mouth-watering! I thought they would be super-sweet, but they were just right. I think they would be great served with the cream cheese along side of a summer fruit salad for a luncheon. Thanks!!!!

This recipe tastes more like a mini crustless pecan pie than a muffin. Too bad that 4 of the 2 dozen I made broke when removing them from the pan so that I had to eat them!! Very, very good. I increased the recipe by 50% and got a full 2 dozen. I made these to take to a funeral dinner. I will make them again for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Just finished making these for the second time and they seem to get better each time I make them. First made them for Thanksgiving brunch and they were the most popular dish of the morning! Not a single one left. The first time I made them I used regular vegetable spray to coat the pan. I did have issues with crumbling then. This time I used good old fashioned Crisco to coat the pan and it seemed to make a big difference, they came out intact with ease. I also used 1/2 cup light brown sugar and 1/2 cup of dark brown sugar (what I had on hand), it seemed to do just fine. I will make these muffins over and over again-they are gems!
