These were just okay. They need a little salt, in my opinion. Thanks for posting, though!

My whole family loved these muffins. Great flavors and nicely moist! I did omit the raisins and pecans because I did not have any. I don't know why, but after I filled the 12 muffin liners, I still had a lot of batter left over, so I put it in a greased 8 inch square pan and baked that, too. A great-tasting bonus. Thanks.
