Spotted the above pack at Sultan Center and couldn’t resist picking it up. After Sultan stopped getting Count Chocula, Cocoa Puffs became my favorite Friday morning cereal so when I saw this muffin mix I decided to grab a box to try out.
Making these muffins was super easy. There are two packs inside the box, one for the muffin mix the other for the Cocoa Puffs toppings. You take the muffin mix and empty it into a bowl. You then add an egg and some vegetable oil and mix it all up and that’s basically it. You then just pour the mix into muffin cups, add the Cocoa Puffs toppings on top and bake the muffins for a few minutes in the oven.
The result wasn’t that great. I thought the muffin tasted pretty good but the Cocoa Puffs toppings didn’t actually taste like the Cocoa Puffs cereal. I actually would have preferred the muffin without the Cocoa Puffs toppings. What I would do next time is make a proper home made muffin (not the ready made stuff) and just add Cocoa Puffs on top from a cereal box.

Instead of making it in vegetable oil,use another sort of oil it is called gee* if I am not wrong.I bake my cakes with it and they taste a whole lot better.
I generally don’t bake using vegetable oil but these ready made mixes ask for it
You could use melted butter instead of oil. Its not healthier but its sure tastier. Or you could just bake from scratch. Its more fun that way
baking from scratch is definitely more fun but the whole idea here was to try this ready made mix
Melted Butter?,Ghee?!. Those are ALL bad for cooking/baking! xP
Are they bad for cooking or are they not healthy?
These baking posts are interesting … maybe you should open a dedicated blog and call it “248YM – the yummy sides” … that would be super cool 🙂
plus one
WOW!
