I was really excited about this recipe, however I was very disappointed in the result. The cake tasted very eggy and like baking soda. It was also not very sweet. I had to throw it out.

Hi Virginia, I'm sorry you had less than great results with this recipe. You're right, there is a typo in the recipe - it should call for 2 eggs, not 3. I am working to fix that. As for the baking soda, I retested it and they do not taste like they have too much baking soda. I double checked with other muffin recipes and the ratio of baking soda/powder to flour/oats is similar. You're also right about the sweetness - I am a dietitian and try not to add too much sugar to my recipes, but if you want them to be sweeter, you can always add more sugar. Thanks so much for your feedback and like I said, I'm working on fixing the recipe! Have a great holiday season.
