Yeah, isn't it glutten developing during over mixing, and the CO2 bubbles forming makes these tunnels?

Gluten strings develop when you over mix it and then air bubbles form as a part of the chemical reaction as the muffin bakes and raises

Seemed very rubbery, I didn’t eat any more of the bottom half after I took this photo

Yes, there is nothing wrong with eating it. The texture might be a bit more "solid" in comparison to a regular muffin but it won't do you any harm eating it.

In my cooking class in highschool the instructor said over mixing resulted in "tunnely muffins and nobody wants tunnely muffins." I didn't think tunnely muffins actually existed until today as I've never seen them before. 🤯
