This recipe is a keeper! The only thing I did differently was I left out the vanilla (I forgot to add it at the end) and I subbed in walnuts for the pecans as I prefer them. They still came out fantastic! excellent! soooo moist and yummy!

I made these muffins 4 days ago, still have two or three left (there are only two of us living here) and they're still as moist as the first day I baked them. Only minor change I made was to add a 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon, just for personal preference. Thanks for a great recipe!
