Oh, Kittencal how you have made my life so much better...and this recipe is no exception to all of the others of yours that I have tried! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this fantastic recipe. These were so moist!! It was hard for me not to eat the entire pan!! Nothing needs to be changed with this. If it ain't broke...don't fix it!!! ;-)

Excellent recipe. I used a whole bag of chocolate chips instead of 1 C, chopped pecans, vanilla instead of maple extract, and omitted the optional cinnamon. Amazingly good! One note - I did not put it in the bottom of my oven so the top started to brown when it wasn't quite done yet, so I had to cover with aluminum foil and move it down as the recipe suggested.
