The muffins came out good, but they didn't taste anything like Costco muffins to me. I used a Duncan Heinz Spice Cake mix, and cut up an apple to put in the batter, to simulate Costco's apple-cinnamon muffins. Not even close. Definitely not the best cupcake I've made either, but not bad. I think without the apples, it would have been really dry.

What a great recipe!!!!!! I did the chocolate muffins and everyone in my house loved them. I made then into the big muffins so I got 10 large muffins with this recipe. I now want to make some other combos with this recipe. Thanks for posting such an easy and tasty recipe :) I just made some Lemon Blueberry with this recipe and they were the best muffins ever.

I made blueberry muffins by using a white cake mix (Betty Crocker w/ pudding in the mix) and adding 1 1/2 cups frozen blueberries to the mix. Instead of mixing the 2 tablespoons of flour into the cake mix, I used it to coat the blueberries to keep them from sinking. Everyone who got one loved it! The only thing I would have liked better is to have a crumb topping. I think Next time I'll try reserving some of the cake mix like another reviewer said they did. I got 12 BIG muffins out of my batch. I could have probably gotten 18 regular sized ones, but I didn't have anymore muffin liners and I hate making muffins without them (not that anyone complained about them being bigger!). I'll be making these for breakfasts/after-school snacks many times.

We have made this recipe many, many times. Always comes out great! Cake mix about 15 oz....no adjustments made. We have added fresh fruit, canned fruit (must drain and sit in frig over night or it will be a mushy muffin), and even added struesal topping. Whenever these get made in our home, they are gone (all 24) within 3 days.
