These muffins were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think I just need to adjust the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these muffins didn't turn out well. They were dense and flavorless.

These muffins were a disaster! The meringue topping didn't brown, and the muffins were dry and crumbly.
