Muffin Mix from Lunchbox book

[jaclom]

Has anyone made this?  I threw my first batch out.  The muffins tasted really strange.  Today I made a new lot of muffin mix and remade some chocolate muffins.  I think they still taste strange (kids like them, but that's becasue they have the word chocolate in front).
I am not convinced this 'muffin mix' has any advantages and is just another container in my cupboard!  I liked the idea of adding 300 gm of muffin mix to the thermomox and adding other wet ingredients to make a variety of muffins.  Now I'm thinking it's not really necessary.....     What have other thermo users experienced?

We didn't really like the muffins either and I didn't think it was worthwhile making up the mix.  I really love that booklet but this recipe wasn't a winner for us.

Actually I didn't like it much either. The kids didn't even eat them all before I had to throw the rest out. I hate wasting food.  There are some great muffin recipes on this forum definitely worth trying and they are all quick and easy to make.

Yes I stick to forum muffin recipes now too.  We just love Trudy's orange muffins with sultanas and grated chocolate.
