This recipe is a waste of time. The muffins were dense and flavorless.

These muffins are way too expensive. I can get a better deal at the grocery store.

These muffins are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of lemon desserts, but these muffins were surprisingly good. The lemon flavor is subtle and not overpowering.

I love that these muffins are made with whole wheat flour. They're a healthier option than most other muffin recipes.

I've tried several lemon muffin recipes, but this one is by far the best. The glaze is the perfect finishing touch.
