Hey Trish, I’m glad to have you here! Keto on, friend. 🙂

Tried the Keto muffins. There should be at least some vanilla. I added some chocolate chips and once cooked I topped it with walnuts crumbs and unsweetened chocolate sauce, that made it palatable.

The recipe is for English muffins which is like a bread. Its not a recipe for sweet muffins which are more like cake.
From the things you said you added I suspect you were expecting the sweet type of muffin.
This I would split in half and eat toasted with egg and bacon… perhaps cheese in it.
