These muffins were surprisingly delicious! They reminded me of chocolate-chip oatmeal cookies, only in a cakey, muffin form! I omitted the pecans and used a heaping cup of milk chocolate chips, and they came out perfect. I'm sure the pecans would taste fantastic, I just didn't have any on hand. These were much more of a dessert than a breakfast muffin (unless you start off your days particularly decadently!) - a warm and filling treat on a snowy winter day!

Wonderful recipe! If you're looking for a moist muffin (and who isn't?), this is perfect. Like practically everyone else, I doubled the sugar - and since I didn't have lemons on hand, I didn't use the zest though I'm sure it could only help (not necessary though). These are sensational right out of the oven - especially the crusty tops! - but surprisingly, keep fresh and tasty for days. Delicious!
