Those Russian sleazeballs would have gotten off easier if they hadn't killed the guy's pupper.

What are you talking about

>>18371065
Probably just some /pol/ shillbot directed at the wrong board.

>muh /pol/ bogeyman
Obsessed. That's clearly /tv/ spam

>>18371106
I don't care, it's a bot.

For me, it's poppyseed

It's guessing they use specially co-packed bagged mix that only the co-packer has the formula to. Then individual stores just throw in bag mix with eggs/oil/water etc to make. Though, I could be completely retarded and Costco makes them from scratch because they are fairly based. But I feel like they taste like a mix.

That's actually some valuable insight; is there some kind of repository or site that your bakery sourced them from? I'd be curious what the process is.

>>18372031
Bump for interest

>>18371993
Tell us more dude

>>18371993
isn't a mix just making from scratch with a predone step

calories in a mcdonald's quarter pounder:
>520
calories in a chocolate costco muffin:
>690

just some food for thought

>>18370611

There's so much sugar and shortening in those, you'd been better off making your own for less.

It's a rich taste of oils, lots of flour, and lots of sugar. So probably something like a muffin mix or a cake mix with extra shit added to make it more dense. I've never had a homemade muffin that tasted like one of the huge storebought ones. Does anybody even have oversize muffin tins?

costco cheesecake should be illegal desu

sugary goyslop

>>18376202
the pumpkin one is on par, I quit goyslop but was about to cheat for a pack of them when I realized their serving size was half a muffin. One muffin has the calories of over a half dozen eggs. Why would I eat that shit when I can eat actual good, nutritious food?

I know its bad but theyre so fucking good i dont even care id eat a chocolate one right now

>>18376202
>breakfast cupcakes are bad for you
stop the fucking presses

>>18378746
there's a difference between being simply "bad" and being fucking terrible
a muffin that's snack sized is bad. a muffin that's costco's full-fucking-meal sized is terrible.

it's literally about John Wick

different anon but mixes can contain additional ingredients to help them perform consistently like leavening agents and stabilizers, usually they're rather small amounts

>>18370629
>>18370611
I can give you just metric not imperial:
-300gr plain flour
-250gr whole yogurt (this is important. Spend a little more for quality on this)
-150gr sugar
-one packet of baking powder (15-16gr)
-3 eggs
-130gr sunflower oil (this is also important. Alternatively can also use 150gr of lukewarm butter)
-Vanilla extract for white ones, cocoa powder for chocolate ones. White one

Mix eggs with sugar until foamy, then add all the liquids, then all the solids\powder (put those in two\three steps, make mix some before put more)
Oil up and powder up a cake mold (best is Plumcake molds) and pour in. Bake for 40 minutes at 180° preheated

You can put whatever you like into the batter: chocolate chips, fruit, motherfucking trail mix, you name it.

That's perfect, thank you anon, that's exactly what I was looking for.
