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

These muffins are a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. I always have some on hand, and it's nice to have a recipe that I can use it in.

I made these muffins for a brunch party, and they were a huge success. Everyone loved them, and they were gone in no time.

These muffins didn't turn out as expected. They were a bit dry and crumbly. I think I may have overmixed the batter.

I'm always looking for new ways to use pumpkin, and these muffins are a great option. They're full of fall flavor, and they're a healthier alternative to traditional muffins.

These muffins were a hit with my family! They're moist and flavorful, with a perfect balance of sweetness from the pumpkin and dates. I also love the crunch from the walnuts. I'll definitely be making these again.
