Pecan Pie Muffins in Bite-Sized Portions

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 24-cup mini muffin tin. In a large bowl, cream together the brown sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and pecans, then gently fold this into the wet ingredients until everything is well mixed and the batter is smooth. Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each one almost to the top. Pop the tin into the oven and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until a toothpick poked into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let them cool for a bit before enjoying these little bites of pecan pie goodness!
