I'm not sure what went wrong, but my muffins turned out like hockey pucks. Maybe I'll have better luck next time.

These muffins are an insult to baking. They should be banned from all cookbooks.

I'm sorry to say, but these muffins were a complete failure. They were dense, dry, and flavorless.

These muffins were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little extra milk or yogurt next time.

These muffins are a great way to use up leftover pears. I always have a few pears that start to go bad before I can eat them all, so this recipe is a lifesaver!
