Even deserves more than five stars. I whipped them up for the French mother in law and her boyfriend who are visiting and they ate most of the batch. Excellent, easy recipe!!! Tastes a lot like pecan pie, but with a cupcake like consistency. I needed to bake at least 8 minutes longer. Fantastic!

All I can say is WOW!!! These were delicious! I made them last week because I wanted to find out if they froze well. They do! I brought them into work and people raved about them!

Addictive. Toasted chopped walnuts on medium-high in frying pan, then chopped further — walnuts are a personal preference. Used paper cups in regular muffin-tins — 2 soup spoons per cup; makes 12 muffins. Baked at 350F for 30 minutes. Can't stop eating them!

These just came out of the oven. I added 1 tsp of vanilla - after all, what dessert is not better with vanilla. These are excellent - just what I wanted for our Thankgivng Dessert. Just a hit of sugar without being heavy. Thanks for posting. P.S. I got 3 dozen mini cupcakess. And I over filled the first two pans.

A fabulous Pick a Chef 2006 discovery! As these fabulous little cupcakes have already been reviewed 42 times, there is probably little more that I can add, apart from saying that the fact that I made these at 10.00 o’clock tonight, after a full and particularly tiring day at work is surely testament to just how incredibly easy they are to make! I read a few of the reviews – I did not have time to read all of them – but I read enough to reflect on the fact that I really would be hard-pressed to define the difference between a cupcake and a muffin (which makes me, I suppose, some sort of baking philistine!) and to like the idea of adding a bit of vanilla. Except for adding that bit of vanilla, I made these exactly to the recipe, in silicon mini muffin pans, so they were a breeze to remove! And I was glad also to learn from one reviewer that these freeze well. Next time I make these, I’ll definitely be making a double quantity as these will be fantastic to take out of the freezer to then take to work for morning teas! Thank you, Dreamgoddess!

made these exactly as written (except substituted brown sugar splenda for the brown sugar) and loved them! even with the cooking spray, they really want to stick to the pan. they have to be removed from the pan as soon as they've cooled enough to get out- but not cooled completely. will definitely make these again! they're so simple!

These are so good. Although, they reminded me more of a muffin than a cupcake. These taste very much like pecan pie and are so incredibly easy to make. I made them in an origanl muffin tin and baked for 25 minutes. I served them to some guests and they absolutely loved them. This recipe is definately a keeper.

What a treat these were! I used walnuts in place of pecans. This was so quick and easy that one can have a great sweet snack in no time at all. The texture was nice & the outside was nicely crisp because I used butter to grease the muffin cups! I will make these often. I am always looking for good recipes to use my mini muffin pans, and this one will be at the top of my list! Thanks so much.

Made these the other day and they were fantastic! I tried them in the mini muffin tins, but had a terrible time getting them out!!! (I don't think I greased the pans well enough, plus I over-filled them!) I still had some batter left over so lined the regular size muffin tins and they turned out perfect! Baked between 20-25 minutes! Loved this recipe!!!
