I made a mistake and added two teaspoons of salt instead of two pinches. The muffins were way too salty! I guess that's a reminder to read recipes more carefully!

The muffins were a bit dry. I think I'll try adding some more oil or butter next time.

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