Why aren't Iota's muffins all they should be?
You stir the batter too much. "A few light strokes" is what the recipe says, and it's meant to be a bit lumpy. Have faith in the recipe, and stop your heavy-handed stirring.
You cook them for too long. Ignore what the recipe says about how long to leave them in the oven, and all that poking with a cocktail stick. Halve whatever time the recipe says, and see if that works.
Your children enjoy them. What's the big problem?
What's all this about being a proper American mom? Have you no shame? Rule Britannia! Stick to fairy cakes.

None of the above. Here's my culinary tip for you to try. (See comments)
