I'm not a big fan of nuts, so I omitted them from the recipe. The muffins still turned out great.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my muffins turned out dry and crumbly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

These muffins are a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. They're also a nice and healthy snack.

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

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy these muffins were to make. I didn't have any dates on hand, so I substituted raisins, and they turned out great. The muffins are light and fluffy, with a delicious pumpkin flavor.
