Yes because the wells are smaller. I don't know the exact time difference. I'd look for a recipe that gives times for mini loaves and then experiment from there with your recipe.
If you can't find one, I'd reduce the time for a whole loaf by half and test it every five minutes til you hit the right time.

I made Kelly's recipe for Chocolate Banana Bread
(http://www.chefsuccess.com/f8/stoneware-loaf-pans-31445/index2.html)
in the mini-loaf pan for a bake sale. So, a one-loaf recipe fits the mini loaf pan very well.
They went for $4 each! Pretty good, eh? Only 3 made it to the sale....husband and son attacked one as as they came out of the pan.
I also used the mini fluted pan for the first time. You know, the discontinued one that is on the outlet. I did the Fluted Chocolate Cappucino Cakes in it.
Oh my goodness, these are cute little cakes! What do you all think - would the mini fluted pan take a recipe for 2 loaves? I have my eye on this pumpkin cranberry bread recipe.
