Mini Pecan Muffins


Today I'm Making... Mini Pecan Muffins

While searching for ideas to make for my husbands office breakfast I decided to focus on individual sized foods (as opposed to something big like a quiche). My husband wanted something "christmasy" so when I came across a pecan muffin it seemed perfect! they are bite sized so you don't have to feel too guilty and there are only 5 ingredients! These alone might have inspired me to host a brunch so I can show them off!

Recipe:
  1. Grease (I used Bakers Joy) a mini muffin tray and preheat oven to 350 (I only have one of these muffin sheets and it makes 18 muffins so I had to cook two batches- if you have to do that make sure the tray is completely cool before you put in round 2 or they will cook unevenly)
  2. In a bowl stir together 1 cup of light brown sugar, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup of chopped pecans.
  3. In another bowl mix together 2/3 cups softened butter and 2 eggs until smooth.
  4. Mix the two bowls together- mix until JUST combined
  5. Bake for 20 minutes at 350- when done cool them on a wire rack.
Review:

These are amazing little suckers and they look as impressive as they taste! My husband said he was walking around his office after the breakfast and overheard people raving about them. They were so good I had to type up the recipe because he was asked so many times for it. I will certainly be making these again... like for every party I go to from now on!
