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.
