My family and I have been making these muffins for years from an excellent muffin cookbook. They're super easy to make, have a mild taste (we always omit the raisins), and are perfect for snacks. They also keep and travel well.

These were really nice. Sweet but light and tasty. Needed something quick for a rainy afternoon with guests coming. We had the leftovers for breakfast. I did add a bit of lemon juice to the batter, substituted margarine for the butter and used almonds for the pecans. A definite keeper.
