I made that delicious blueberry loaf last week and mentioned that I wanted to try the muffins, and I had been thinking about it so much that I decided to try it tonight. I wanted to try it without blueberries since Eric isn't a fan, so instead I thought of chocolate chips. It turned out I was out of those, and instead used chocolate chunks and peanut butter chips. Such a compromise, I know. I also tried the other modification I wanted to do - chopping up the pecans instead of leaving them as halves and then mixing them with the brown sugar. Everything turned out great! I managed to overcook them - 30 minutes was way too long, but they are still edible. I think I'd prefer them to just have chocolate chips, but really, these are delicious.
Things I learned from this recipe:
My modifications worked! The muffins were great with the crushed pecans on the bottom. I couldn't imagine eating them with pecan halves.
Would I make this recipe again?:
Yes
