Happy Thanksgiving/Holiday Season, y’all! Have you seen enough pumpkin/turkey/cranberry recipes to make you sick yet? NEVER, right?!
Today’s recipe falls into that category, but it’s a little different. It’s definitely Thanksgiving-inspired, but the delivery is changed up a little bit. Instead of a big pan of baked stuffing, these are tiny little stuffing treats that you can pop right into your mouth!
These would be perfect for a Thanksgiving office party or to have out on the counter as an “appe-teaser” while the turkey is finishing up in the oven for your family gathering. Either way – they’re tiny, pop-able and ridiculously easy to whip up!
Me? I could see myself dunking these into the gravy on my plate during the big feast – yummy!
Ingredients:
2 boxes Jiffy corn muffin mix
2 large eggs
2/3 cup milk
1/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/4 small onion, chopped fine
2 celery stalks, chopped fine
1 tbsp butter
3/4 tsp rubbed sage
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400*F
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat
Saute onion and celery together until soft
Add in the cranberries and pecans and stir a few times, remove from heat and let cool
Mix corn muffin mix, eggs and milk together
Add in all remaining ingredients and stir until just combined, no need to over-mix
Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes then fluff with a fork
Spoon into well-greased mini-muffin tin, filling each pocket 3/4 full
Bake for 10-12 minutes
Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes
Remove from muffin tin by running a butter knife around the edges of each muffin, then transfer to wire cooling rack and let cool completely
*Makes 36-40 mini-muffins
I hope you enjoy!

Holy Moly Stuffing! I woke up this morning (around 6:30am) craving — CRAVINGGGGGGG — Stove Top stuffing. Seriously, this is insanity. I love the idea of stuffing baked in a mini-muffin pan, just like mini cupcakes. GENIUS. Thanks for sharing and encouraging my ridiculous pregnancy cravings. HAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Nicole, I'm pregnant too…promise these do NOT disappoint! 🙂
These muffins look delicious!
Pinning 🙂
Such a fun alternative to regular stuffing! Might have to try this stuffing recipe!
Mmm stuffing bites. The easiest way to serve stuffing/dressing. I LOVE target's seasonal section. Gets me in the mood for every holiday! And my go-to Starbucks is always a steamer, with various flavors to fit the season. Right now it's a butterbeer!
Yum! This is a great alternative for stuffing…and fun, too!
I am not a fan of stuffing but I would eat this and it's a great new way to do this. I might try this for the holidays.
Those muffins look great! I still need to think of some things to take to thanksgiving dinner this year! Thanks for sharing!
I love this idea! This looks like a fun alternative that I might have to surprise my family with this year! Especially since I'm on dressing duty!
What a neat idea! I tend to put a little too much stuffing on my plate at Thanksgiving, but these muffins would solve that!
Nom nom nom…these look scrumptious!
This is brilliant! I am so making these this year.
These look awesome! Headed over to pin it right now!
How cute are these?! I don't like stuffing personally but I know tooons of people who would love them.
What a great idea! Stuffing is one of my favorite Thanksgiving sides!
Totally pinning this for dinner!
Oh my goodness I can't believe I NEVER thought of that. That is genius!
I would have never dreamed of making stuffing muffins. Love this!
Stuffing muffins?!? You are a genius!!!!!! I need them, right now!!
OMG! Those muffins really look so good! Thanks for the recipe, will definitely try this.
I totally love this idea! I have read so many articles that say that you shouldn't stuff a turkey. This is such a great alternative.
I am so doing this what an awesome idea
Those muffins look delicious. It is nice to get so much flavor in a small serving so you don't have to worry about excess calories.
