These muffins were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they were a bit more moist.

I'm not a big fan of quinoa, but I really enjoyed these muffins. The squash and spices helped to mask the flavor of the quinoa.

I made these muffins with almond flour instead of all-purpose flour and they turned out great! They were just as moist and flavorful as the regular version.

These muffins were a little too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they were a bit lighter and fluffier.
