This is a really tasty treat that I’ve shared before, but it’s so good that I’m sharing it again. Besides, now I have a better camera, the better to show off pics of these tasty morsels.
We just started our Fall Bible studies at church recently (we’re doing Beth Moore’s The Beloved Disciple, by the way) and I brought these. They were all gone when I picked up my platter. I had forgotten about this recipe, but this is a great treat for this time of year. So yummy!
I bought a 24 mini-muffin pan just for this purpose a couple years ago and this recipe makes 36 mini-muffins. Don’t fill the batter over the top, stop right at or below the top of the pan for best results. You can see I filled a few of mine too full and they baked over the top. 
Be sure and spray the pan and they should pop out really easy.
Put them on a pretty platter and you’re all set for a tasty breakfast treat. SO good with coffee! I’m going to have to make them again soon. The great thing is they can be mixed up really fast, not a lot of ingredients and they bake fast too.
Here you go:
Pecan Pie Mini-Muffins
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup plain flour
1 cup chopped pecans
2/3 cup butter – melted
2 eggs beaten
Mix all together & spoon in mini-muffin pan. Bake at 350* for approx. 12-15 minutes. They should slide right out of a non-stick pan.
One of my morning treats is watching the hummingbirds out on our deck. I can sit on my loveseat drinking my coffee and watch these guys fly back and forth, scurrying around, trying to guard the feeder. I don’t know why they don’t like to share, but they sure don’t. I’ve seen 3 at one time actually drink at the feeder, but that didn’t last long. 
Soon, they are back to fighting again. These little creatures are so beautiful to watch that I managed to capture a few pics.
Enjoy the muffins and the hummers!

I recently shared that my staircase project won in the weekly competition over at One Project Closer <——-(click there to vote). Now, all the entries are in and there is a final vote for the Top project of this year. I would LOVE it if you would go over and vote for me! The winner will get a $150 giftcard to Lowes or Home Depot. Here’s a reminder of my stair painting project, in case you missed it. There are some other great projects over there as well. 
I love pecan pie! is there really only 1/2 cup of flour? that doesn’t sound like much, and I want to make sure before I start. Thanks!
Stephanie, yes that’s right, it’s not much flour! Sort of gooey, but bakes up just right.
Rhoda, I made these last week for Thanksgiving for my pecan pie-loving brother in law last week (didn’t have a pie crust and didn’t feel like making one! haha). They were super yummy and so easy! Also, I used organic whole wheat flour and a splash of vanilla and they turned out great. I think I also used light brown sugar.
thanks for a keeper! 🙂
I made the pecan pie muffins today to serve with our Christmas dinner tomorrow. But I couldn’t resist trying one today. Boy are they YUMMY!!!!!! Thanks for a great recipe! Even my 11 year old son who thinks he doesn’t like nuts went back for a second muffin.
Rhoda, I made these yesterday after reading about the State Pride blog! I LOVE GEORGIA. My born and bred southern husband is a pecan lover so I had to try them! So good–the whole family loved them. I made a modification: I used light brown sugar 2/3 c. (light was all I had) AND COCONUT SUGAR! 1/3 Coconut sugar has a low glycemic impact and wonderful health benefits. I will experiment to see if I can still get good results if I cut back on the brown sugar even more. They were great! I gave one to my Mom last night and she is making them for bible study this morning!
Although they should pop right out of a non-stick pan, alas, there is a trick to it. If you try too soon, smusho, if you wait too long, chisel away. I have found that if you pop them after they have cooled 5-7 minutes in the pan it is perfect.
Hi¡ Can I use almond flour instead and what amount. Thanks ‘
Just made these! They are so good and easy recipe ❤️
