How to Make Pecan Pie Muffins

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini-muffin pan with paper liners or grease well.
In a large bowl, combine the pecan pie muffin mix, 2 large eggs, and 2/3 cup (160ml) melted unsalted butter. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fill each mini-muffin cup about 2/3 full.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
