The muffins were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have used less sugar.

The muffins were a little bland for me. I think I would have added more spices, such as cinnamon or nutmeg.

These muffins were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would have added more moisture, such as applesauce or mashed banana.
