Ingredients for cake mix muffins.

How To Make Muffins From a Cake Mix:

Prepare – You can get started by preheating your oven to 350 and placing 12 of the paper liners into the 12 hole muffin tin and set it aside for now.

Batter – Add the milk, oil, and eggs to a large mixing bowl and stir them together until well combined. Stir in the cake mix until just combined. Don’t overmix or the batter won’t be as light and fluffy.

Chocolate Chips – You can now start folding all those chocolate chips into the cake mix muffin batter!

HELPFUL TIPS!

  • The muffins can be sprinkled with a few extra chocolate chips just before baking to top them off.
  • You can also substitute the chocolate chips for fresh, frozen or dried fruit or even sprinkles if you want to change things up!

Bake – These chocolate chip cake mix muffins will take about 20 minutes to bake, or until they are lightly golden on the top and cooked through.

Serve – You’ll need to let these cool in the tin for 5 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling completely before serving, or serve them while they’re still a little warm!
