These muffins were a little too dense for my taste. I think I would add some more baking powder next time.

I added some chopped walnuts to the batter and they added a nice crunch. I also used fresh pineapple instead of dried and it gave the muffins a really bright flavor.

These muffins were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I wasn't sure about the combination of carrots, raisins, and pineapple, but it actually worked really well! The muffins were moist and flavorful, and the different flavors complemented each other nicely.

These muffins were a little too dry for my taste. I think I would add some extra moisture next time, maybe some applesauce or yogurt.
