For those of you who’ve remained invested in this epic saga of the gluten free Costco copycat muffins, this is your post! The fifth installment in our adventure, heaped with apples and buttery crumb topping and vanilla glaze: these GIANT gluten free apple streusel muffins, à la our favorite bulk grocery store chain. I remember that, as a kid facing the trays of massive muffins in the Costco bakery section, these apple streusel creations seemed very “adult.” Something about the elegance of the crumb topping and the criss-crosses of white glaze just had the air of “posh adult breakfast.” Now, as an adult, I’m not sure where I got that…

Giant Gluten Free Costco Copycat Blueberry Muffins
Installment four in our celebratory nostalgic saga featuring Costco muffin lookalikes!! We give you, GIANT, fluffy, gorgeously simple and perfect gluten free blueberry muffins. Once again, we’ve used the trick for producing giant muffins (truly giant, not the “giant” muffin pans you can find on Amazon, those aren’t actually that giant), which is a set of six 4-inch round cake pans (affiliate link) – with fairly tall sides – that are the perfect vehicle for these floofy massive creations. Highly recommend snagging yourself a set of those pans and using them to make these and ALL of the other Costco copycat muffins we have here on the blog – and…

Giant Gluten Free Double Chocolate Muffins
For all of you waiting with baited breath for the next installment in the “Gluten Free Costco Muffin” saga, the time is now. I give you: the giant gluten free Costco copycat double chocolate muffin in all its chocolatey glory. It’s HUGE, it’s DOUBLE the chocolate, it’s fluffy and moist, and it’s dang easy to make which makes these the most dangerous chonky muffins out there. Each giant muffin is the equivalent of four regular-sized muffins, so be wary of the “I’ll just have two” urge that will wash over you once these come out of the oven. I finished making the first test batch of these just after 10pm…

There’s something so perfectly comforting about a giant, fluffy, poppyseed muffin with just enough almond…

Giant Gluten Free Banana Nut Muffins
Anyone else have those fond childhood memories of staring wide-eyed at tray upon tray of muffins bigger than your FACE at Costco? Well, even if not, I’m sure you could conjure up images of unimaginably large muffins, in varying flavors (the chocolate chocolate ones were always the biggest pull as a kid, though it was only for a special treat that we got those ones), usually sliced into quarters to mix and match or to actually be a reasonable sized-snack. Our mom used to run two separate girl scout troops for each of us growing up (still unclear how she managed both, plus working, plus finances, plus just being a…

Mini Gluten Free Banana Nut Loaves
When I was little, I remember trailing our shopping cart through Costco, delighted every time we passed (and stopped at) a sample table – getting to savor a bite of sausage or a cracker or a tiny cup of smoothie made with an on-sale blender. But the best part of those shopping trips were the muffins. If you’ve ever had a Costco muffin, you most likely have a similar nostalgia around these larger-than-life bakery flats. Because they were huge! At the time of first eating them, they may even have been bigger than my face – a muffin that, when cut into quarters, would more resemble a normal, homemade-sized muffin.…
