Poppy Seed Pecan Muffins image

Whenever I can carve out even a little free time, I love to bake. And after almost endless experimenting, I have to say that these muffins are my all-around favorites. They're easy to make, and the orange peel-a lovely addition to the raisins, nuts and poppy seeds-just says spring to me. -Ruth Bolduc, Conway, New Hampshire

Worst muffins I've ever had. They were dry, dense, and flavorless. I couldn't even finish one. I'm not sure how this recipe got such good reviews.

I would not recommend this recipe. The muffins were dry and flavorless. I followed the recipe exactly, but they still turned out terrible. I'm very disappointed.

These muffins were a complete disaster! They were so dry and crumbly, I could barely swallow them. The flavor was also terrible. I'm never making these again!

These muffins were okay, but not great. They were a little dry and the flavor was kind of bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I tried making these muffins, but they didn't turn out well. The batter was too thick and the muffins were dense and dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These muffins were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and the flavor was bland. The pecan topping was the only saving grace, but it couldn't make up for the rest of the muffin.
