It takes a great looking recipe to make me cheat on my favorite chocolate chip muffin mix. Not everyone likes using mixes for baking though, so I wanted to try out the recipe I spotted at She Wears Many Hats. Mine turned out visually a bit different, which I am going to blame on the high altitude here (4800 ft).
I did as the recipe instructed, which I read as greasing a muffin pan, not individual baking liners. Well, my muffins stuck pretty good in the pan. To get them out without tearing them apart, I took a spoon and loosened the edges while also gently pulling the muffin up from the bottom of the baking tin. Maybe it was a fluke that mine stuck, but if I made this again, I would suggest using liners and very lightly spraying them with baking spray.
Some will say that you don't need to spray the liners, but in my experience I have had cupcakes fall apart when I've tried to take the liner off. Whether or not you need to spray them seems to vary on the type/brand of liner used. Use your best judgement.
As for the differences between my favorite ready-made mix and from scratch, the taste was great in both, with the from scratch version tasting less sweet. On day two, the from scratch recipe was less moist than the ready-made mix, but still good. So the question here is do you prefer the time saving store bought mix, or do you only bake from scratch?
