    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!

    using only 5 ingredients, pecan pie mini muffins are fluffy and flavor packed

    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!

    Muffin texture with a soft gooey inside like a mini-Southern pecan pie, these Mini Pecan Pie Muffins are a must try!

    Each batch makes about 2 dozen mini muffins! Of course, you can also make these into regular muffins, just adjust the cook time accordingly!

    Ingredients Needed for these Pecan Pie Mini Muffins:

    • Brown sugar, packed
    • Flour
    • Chopped pecans
    • Butter, melted
    • Eggs

    Making the Pecan Pie Mini Muffins:

    1. In a bowl, combine sugar, flour, and pecans. Set aside.
    2. Combine the melted butter and eggs, mix well.
    3. Stir into flour mixture, until just combined.
    4. Grease a mini muffin pan and fill each cup about 2/3 full.
    5. Bake in a preheated oven, 350, for about 15-20 minutes, or until muffins test done.
    6. Remove immediately and serve!

    Tips for this recipe:

    • Ensure you have greased the pan as the muffins will stick quite firmly if not.
    • If desired, you can decrease the butter to 1/2 cup.
    • To freeze, allow the muffins to fully cool off and store in an airtight container/bag.
    • Freeze for up to 3 months.

      Any substitutes that will make it healthier, but still taste good?

      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 🙂
