I made these muffins gluten-free by using gluten-free flour. They turned out just as good as the regular muffins.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I had to substitute the pecans for walnuts. The muffins still turned out great!

These muffins were way too sweet for my taste. I ended up cutting the amount of sugar in half and they were still too sweet.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my muffins didn't rise very much. They're still tasty, but they're not as fluffy as I would have liked.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my muffins didn't turn out very well. They were dry and crumbly.

I'm not a big fan of pumpkin, but these muffins were surprisingly good. The cream cheese filling really makes them.

I love how easy these muffins are to make. I didn't have any pumpkin puree on hand, so I used canned pumpkin instead. They turned out just as good!
