Perfect Chocolate Chip Muffins
Last Updated on January 1, 2023 by Janell
I love muffins but I have never been good at making them. They are always dry. I want my muffins to taste like Costco muffins or like Starbucks. I figured, why not start with a cake mix. My cakes are really moist - so I did it. They came out awesome! Another bonus is - they aren't huge! Your family will love these muffins. We made Chocolate - Chocolate Chip Muffins but next time I am going to make them with the vanilla cake mix.
Perfect Chocolate Chip Muffins
- 1 box of chocolate or vanilla cake mix
- 3 Tablespoons pudding powder* (chocolate for chocolate/vanilla for vanilla)
- 3 eggs
- ⅔ cup milk
- ⅓ cup oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ - 1 cup of chocolate chips
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375. Grease 18 cupcake tins or line with liners.
- Combine all the ingredients - except the chocolate chips.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour into 18 muffin tins - about ¾ full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the center is firm to the touch. This is a very moist cake so it may have cake on it when you test it.
*I always put pudding mix in my cakes - so save the leftover pudding powder and add it to your next cake. It will be delicious!
I am also going to play around with trying to make lemon poppy seed and blueberry muffins.
I love to use cake mixes to elevate my desserts. This Cherry Chip Cake is so good and it starts with a white cake mix!
Maybe I'm missing something but wouldn't these be cupcakes then? 🙂
Well they don't have icing 🙂
Tried these today and they were a hit! Thanks for such a great recipe!! Just like Costco's.
Im so glad you loved them!My kids are always asking me to make them.
I have made these muffins twice already and I'm making them again today. My family and I love them!! Thank You for a great recipe that will be in my family for generations!!!
Aww what a sweet comment. We love them so much.
