COPYCAT MUFFINS

COPYCAT MUFFINS

We have been making way too many muffins lately, but it has been fun.  They are quick to put together so if I get off work early enough I can make a batch right before the kids get home.  Great after school snack.  Need to experiment and try to hide some veggies/fruit in them.

SEE BELOW FOR DIFFERENT VARIATIONS

1 (18 oz) box cake mix (Duncan Hines is the best - usually best price at Wal-Mart) - I think they turn out better if you shift the cake mix
2 T flour
3 eggs
2/3 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable or coconut oil
1 tsp baking powder

Mix all together.  Spoon into prepared muffin cups.  Bake at 375 for 20 minutes or tops are lightly browned.

ALMOND POPPY SEED: use a white cake mix, add 2 tsp poppy seeds and 1 tsp almond extract.

CHOCOLATE MUFFINS: use a chocolate cake mix and stir in 1 1/2 cup chocolate chips. (our favorite mixture is 3/4 c cinnamon chips, 3/4 c mini chocolate chips)


Other suggestions:.
  1. + French vanilla cake mix and fresh raspberries.
  2. + Lemon cake mix and poppyseed.
  3. + Spice cake mix with cinnamon/sugar topping.
