Pecan Pie Mini Muffins
I found this recipe in a Southern Living cookbook, and I had to try it because it only had five ingredients that I already had in my pantry. I am SO glad we tried these. Buck absolutely loves them. I was impressed that they even looked like pecan pies coming out of the muffin tins. If you don't want to go to the trouble of making a pecan pie this Christmas, everyone would be just as happy with these. The only thing Buck wished we'd had with these is vanilla ice cream--a mistake we won't make next time.
Pecan Pie Mini Muffins
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped pecans
2 large eggs
1 stick butter, melted
Preheat oven to 350. Mix brown sugar, flour, and pecans in a bowl. Make a well in the center of the mixture. Beat eggs until foamy. Stir together butter and eggs; add to dry ingredients, stirring until just moistened.
Spray 2 mini-muffin tins with cooking spray. Spoon batter into cups, filling two-thirds full. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Remove from pans immediately and cool on wire racks. Yields 2 dozen mini muffins.
