Pecan Pie Mini Muffins are made using only 5 ingredients and can be served for breakfast or dessert! Tastes like pecan pie in the form of a bite sized muffin!
Years ago, my family went to visit my aunt, uncle, and cousins! For breakfast one morning, my aunt had made these mini muffins and they were a huge hit!
We had never tried them before, but one bite in and we were hooked!
Just like pecan pie, but in mini muffin form. What’s not to love, right?!
After asking for the recipe, my mom began to make them for us as a weekend treat, if we had company over, or giving to friends/neighbors!
As I got older, became a mom of my own, and found the recipe, I found just how simple and quick they are to prepare!
Since then, my family has fallen in love with these mini muffins as well and the tradition continues!

Any substitutes that will make it healthier, but still taste good?
Kristin and Adriana
Unfortunately, I don’t think there are any substitutions. You can try using coconut oil in place of butter, other then that, I’m not sure 🙂
Anna
