Pecan Mini Muffins

Don Radovich, a dear friend and cook at the inn, discovered the best muffin recipe ever. Ever. As in, you must try these now. Now. Stop reading and start baking.

Pecan Mini Muffins

1/3 cup butter, melted
1 cup light or dark brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
more butter for preparing pan

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl combine all of the ingredients. Fill greased mini muffin tin 3/4 full and bake for 10-15 minutes. Makes about 30 mini muffins.

If I’m worried they won’t happily pop out of the tins, I might grease a pie plate or two and create wedges instead.

This is Don's variation of a recipe from the Borgman’s Bed and Breakfast in Arrow Rock, Missouri.
