These muffins were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add a little more moisture next time.

I'm not a big fan of protein powder, but these muffins were surprisingly good. I didn't even notice the protein powder.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the walnuts with chocolate chips. The muffins were still delicious!
