Once again, Dorie has blown me away. These muffins were easy and delicious! I substituted mini chocolate chips for the raisins and a pecan pie glazed pecan for the topper. Those pecans are a one for you/one for me kind of treat. Yummo!The recipe says it makes 12 but I got 19 muffins which is good since I made them for my daughter's Daisy Scout troup and I would be sad if there weren't extras for, um, tasting. Yeah, I have to taste them to make sure they're edible! You can find the recipe on Kelly's site. It says bake at 400 for 25 minutes but luckily I read the message boards and saw that most were done in 17 minutes. My glazed pecans still got a bit burnt but the flavor was still good and it gives the muffins a sweet, crunchy bite. I omitted the ginger and allspice since I didn't have any. I'm actually sitting here, eating one as I type and wow. Rush out and make some today! I just might make another batch tonight, just for us.

I love the idea of using chocolate chips. I bet your version is yummy! I am sure the Daisies loved them. I used to love making my Girl Scout troop goodies (was a leader for all 13 years before moving on to Cub Scouts!).
The chocolate chips look like a great addition and I love the pecan on top- yum!
Weren't these just scrumptious? I just had one for breakfast. I love your substitutions and will try the chocolate chips next time with craisins.
Yum! I love the pecan topper!
I'm definitely trying chocolate chips next time. Those pecans on top look delicious too!
Those pecans look delicious! And the muffins look pretty good as well.
I used pecans and chocolate chips too. I loved them heated up with butter on top!
Your muffins sound delicious. I like your substitutions. Especially the pecan topping!
Looks very appealing with yummy pecans on top. Glad you like them.

Thanks all! I highly recommend those pecans. Emerald Nuts makes them and they are divine!
That's a great close-up photo of a half eaten muffin. Weren't they delicious!
Your muffins look nice. The P&Q was a lifesaver, wasn't it? Glad the muffins were a hit around your house. And tell your husband good job with the stir fry!

Mmm! I wish I had time for TWD! Instead, I'll just drool over yours... :D
Whoa we totally have the same cinnamon!!
Girl you should see the make-shift pantry I've got going in my bedroom! I have 2 plastic crates from Target FILLED with stuff from the food section at TJ Maxx!!! :D I still live at home, so that's the only way I can keep it out of everyone else's sight! Hahaha
Haha I printed out my Amazon list and gave it to my parents! :D :D
Hey Jen! No need to shell out the cash for Martha's books (unless you find a stellar deal on Amazon.com). She has so many of her recipes right on her website!
