These muffins were a waste of time. They were dry, bland, and had no flavor.

I was disappointed with these muffins. They were too dense and the ginger flavor was overpowering.

I thought these muffins were just okay. They were a little dry and I didn't really taste the ginger.

I'm not a big fan of pumpkin, but I really enjoyed these muffins. The ginger flavor really balances out the pumpkin.

I've tried many pumpkin muffin recipes before, but this one is by far the best! The addition of ginger gives it a really special taste.
