I have a real love/hate relationship with mini muffins. On the one hand, they are lovely to just pop into your mouth. On the other hand, a recipe typically makes, oh, about a million and I am standing around scooping tiny amounts of batter into tiny cupcake wrappers for ages.
This recipe, however, is designed to make minis. Only about 2 dozen, which happens to be exactly how many my mini muffin tin will hold. (OK, maybe the recipe makes like 26 or 28 and maybe the batter was so good that I didn’t bother with a second round of muffins and just scraped the bowl). And they really do taste like little pecan pies.
