I tried a few different toppings on my muffins. I did semi-sweet chocolate chips, toasted pecans, low-fat granola, oats, brown sugar and just plain. My favorite was the toasted pecans or the brown sugar. These are great to have around for a quick low-calorie snack when you need a little something to get you through the day. Of course the toppings I did probably alter the calorie count slightly.
