The youth at our church are going on a Pioneer Trek this weekend and I was asked to help with the food so for their “bus” snack on the way there I decided to make some muffins.  I found this recipe for Copycat Costco Muffins on Food.com and decided to give it a try but I’m realizing as I’m typing this that I did not even sample one muffin, I sent them all on the trek so I have no idea how they taste!  I guess I’ll have to make them again, bummer.

1 box cake mix

2 tablespoons flour

3 eggs

2/3 cup milk

1/3 cup oil

1 teaspoon baking powder

1  Add all ingredients to bowl of mixer and mix on low for 30 seconds then on medium for 2 minutes.

2  Scoop into prepared muffin cups.

3  Bake at 350 or 325 for darker pans for 20 minutes or until tops are lightly browned.
