I found this recipe while looking for a way to duplicate the delicious but expensive pistachio muffins at my grocery store bakery. So I used this recipe but substituted two boxes of instant pistachio pudding, they were almost a perfect match for the bakery muffins and WAY cheaper! Thanks Jill!

These muffins were very tasty. The only thing we did different (to suit our taste) was to use butter instead of oil. Instead of water we used milk. We added some butterscotch chips to the batter. And we ground up about a 1/2 cup of pecans and added it to the batter. In the future we plan to also use two packs of butterscotch pudding instead of vanilla/butterscotch. My husband also snuck a whole pecan inside some of the muffins after I poured the batter while I wasn't looking (he loves pecans). VERY TASTY!! (I just ate four of 'em with my cup of coffee.)

Family Favorite......... My son would eat them all if I would make everyday. I only make them as a treat because I want to keep them special!!

Didn't really have the texture of a muffin. Mine were almost more of a pancake teture - extremely doughy. I could also taste the eggs pretty prominently and could not really taste too much of a butterscotch flavor. Next time I would use 2 butterscotch puddings instead of 1 butterscotch and 1 vanilla. I also reduced sugar to 3/4 cup and they were still extremely sweet. Next time I will use 1/2 or even 1/4 cup sugar.

These tasted too much like cake for my liking. They had good flavor, but were very sweet and not the muffin texture I was looking for. I altered the topping, making it more of a streusel, with 1/4 c flour and cutting in 3 T butter. Would use again for a quick yellow cake recipe, only using vanilla pudding mix.

These were good, but not great. Maybe it was just my taste buds?

These are very good! My husband and kiddo LOVE them :) I will say that these don't have a strong butterscotch taste, but that may be because I used a cheese cake pudding mix in lue of the vanilla mix. Next time I might try 2 butterscotch pudding mixes and nix the vanilla to up that butterscotch taste. I also drizzled a cream cheese icing mix over the top and it was yum yum yum!
