These muffins were a bit too dense for my taste. I would add an extra egg to the recipe next time to make them more moist.

I found these muffins to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe next time.

These muffins are a little dense, but I still enjoyed them. I think they would be even better if they were made with a lighter flour, such as all-purpose flour.

I used dark chocolate chips in these muffins and they were amazing! The bitterness of the chocolate balanced out the sweetness of the muffins perfectly.

I'm not a huge fan of nuts, so I omitted them from the recipe. The muffins were still delicious.

I love that these muffins are made with whole wheat flour. They're a healthier option that still tastes great.
