I feel that muffins can help you measure how much you are eating. If you make smaller muffins and not those jumbo size muffins that is. You can enjoy one and not feel like it's killing your diet. Here is a seasonal muffin favorite recipe: Pumpkin Pecan Chocolate Chip Muffin recipe with a little surprise as a topping. Read on to see how I made these delicious muffins.
