WEEK 114
WHAT ARE WE MIXIN’ UP THIS WEEK?
Looking for a quick & easy muffin mix to help you whip up a tasty snack for the upcoming busy holiday season ? This pecan pie muffin mix is the answer!
With the holidays fast approaching, I am sharing a muffin mix that is very versatile! This Mini Pecan Pie mix can be mixed up and baked in a mini muffin tin, a regular size muffin tin or even a loaf pan. It can even be used to make Banana Bread! Just like the name says, the little muffins taste like pecan pie!
The mini muffins are perfect for a holiday get together, a tail gate event or even just as a special treat for your family’s breakfast! I am planning on making them to serve on Thanksgiving morning.
The mix comes from my friends at Mad Dash Mixes. I met the folks from Mad Dash Mixes as a blogging convention last summer. I fell in love with their line of products and have spent the last year introducing their products to all of you.

Let’s get Mixin’!
LET’S START MIXIN’ – THE INGREDIENTS
You will need the following ingredients:
1 packet Mini Pecan Pie Mix by Mad Dash Mixes
2 eggs
1/2 stick butter melted
3/4 cup chopped pecans
pecan halves for garnish
cooking spray with flour added or mini muffin/cupcake liners
Simply follow the directions on the back of the package.
I like to make the mini muffins. There are two ways to prepare your muffin tin. The easy way is to use the little mini cupcake liners to line the muffin tin. A second way is to spray the pan with cooking spray and then dust the pan with unsweetened cocoa.
The second way is a little messier. I do like to use the cocoa trick in place of using flour. I also use cocoa to coat the inside of the pan when making Brownie Pizza!
Five Secrets to Baking the Perfect Brownies
Back to the muffins!
After the muffins have finished baking, cool them in the muffin tin for 10 minutes. After removing the muffins from the tin, place them on a rack to finish cooling. Top each muffin with a pecan half for extra garnish!

COOKING WITH KIM
My entrepreneurial journey started with my love of herbs , both growing and cooking with them. My love of herbs eventually lead to owning a pizzeria.
After relocating to Florida, I decided to start a blog where I could share my love of cooking, decorating and crafting.
Throughout my culinary career, I have discovered the using mixes can make a cook’s life so much easier! Using a mix to make a recipe is as simple as adding a few ingredients to the mix and then stirring, cooking or chilling and serving! Mixes are such a time saver! After meeting the ladies from Mad Dash Mixes* at a blogging conference last summer, I decided to add a weekly blog post featuring recipes using their mixes. Now I am now having a lot of fun working with the folks from Mad Dash Mixes.
They did send me some products to sample but my opinions about the products are my own. My full disclosure policy can be found on the Disclosure page.
