I don't care much for muffins and am certainly well outside your target area but wonder if it would help if you better described either what muffin characteristics you seek or maybe easier, what issues you found with the trial muffins.
Too sweet (almost certainly)? Too dense? Too light and fluffy? Too dry? Too moist? Too much fruit or other inclusions? Not enough of the same? Too big? Too small?
Some specific off flavor? Lack of an expected flavor?
Of course too sweet. Ca va sans dire. Oddly enough the sets of muffins from two different sources had the same characteristics. They were just too light and too fluffy and too moist for words. And of course not enough inclusions. The blueberries in the blueberry muffins were so far apart. And the chocolate chips in the banana muffins were definitely not generous.
Size was not a factor. As for flavors...they were what Ed bought. I was not expecting wonders...but...they were just unacceptable...to me anyway.
The years during which we built the new living room and had such extensive repairs done on the old farmhouse, we had one group of builders after another traipsing through our lives, I made at least 500 muffins. I knew that because I completely emptied one of those 500 muffin papers cylindrical cardboard containers. Now I liked my muffins. So apparently did the men.

We'll try the Metro muffins. Thanks, @ElsieD.
