These muffins were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my muffins didn't turn out as well as I hoped. They were a little dense and the cream cheese filling was too runny.

These muffins were easy to make and they turned out great! I used a gluten-free flour blend and they still came out perfectly. I will definitely be making these again.

I'm not a big fan of pumpkin, but I decided to try these muffins anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! They were really moist and flavorful. I especially liked the cream cheese filling.

These muffins were just okay. They were a little dry and the cream cheese filling was too sweet for my taste.
