I don't know if you have ever had a Costco Chocolate Muffin before but they are so delicious and they're huge! The "secret" ingredient for their muffins is really just cake mix!
So much for thinking they were nutritious, huh? I always thought they were too delicious to really be breakfast food. My kids enjoy these muffins and I will be making more varieties soon! I'm thinking blueberry and cinnamon streusel!
When I made these muffins I filled them almost full. If you want muffins with huge muffin tops I would suggest only make about 6 muffins and fill the liners a little more to achieve the muffin top you desire.
These muffins came out really well and I think next time I make them I may double my batch and have larger and more muffins! It's not even 24 hours later and these muffins are gone! They're that good!
When these Jumbo Chocolate Chunk Muffins came out of the oven my house filled with the smell of chocolate. It was so wonderful and my son couldn't wait to try one.
The chocolate chunks melting into the muffin only made the wait even harder for him!
Costco Copycat Jumbo Chocolate Chunk Muffins Recipe
Overall, I was very pleased with the way these muffins turned out and everyone in the house really enjoyed them. Every bite had a chocolate chunk it had the great texture of a muffin. I call them a success! I'd say my family thinks so, too!

I was explaining to the fella how awesome the chocolate Costco muffins were when you warmed them up and ate them with a glass of milk. This recipe looks like a killer copycat. Love it!
Yum! The bigger the better when it comes to chocolate muffins I say! These look perfect.
I think these jumbo muffins would be a perfect surprise for my chocoholic hubby, who probably has never seen bigger muffins. In combination with the raspberries they look almost healthy;)
OMGEEE – I’ve had a jumbo chocolate chunk muffin from Costco before and wow – yours sounds so good! Put me alone in a room with a tray of these and they’d be gone in 0-60 seconds – no lie!

I'm making these right now and just wondering.....is the batter supposed to be so thick? Almost like a mouse texture.
Yes, the batter will be thick. 🙂
Curious if these would work with a cream cheese filling added before baking?many thanks
Hi Allison, I have not tried that but it sounds yummy! Let me know if you try it.
These were not good....texture was off, likely to calling for too many eggs? It is chewy and gross...
The cooking time was wayyy off... maybe I did something wrong but I reread the recipe multiple times prior to baking!
Do not reccomend.
I just made these and they are absolutely amazing. I added some coffee to mine and some marshmallows as well.
They turned out to be amazing 🤩 I think ALOT of the things I bake has to do with the way you think about what you are doing. If you go into the kitchen questioning everything and saying to yourself this recipe is not going to work out I guarantee you are going to have issues. But if you walk in the kitchen and are confident in what you are making you will be amazed. I love baking and I try all sorts of recipes. 3/4 of them come out wonderful 👍
Love the addition of marshmallows and coffee! 🙂
