Blueberries and Cream Muffins – Now in 8 Packs at Costco

We liked the Blueberries and Cream muffins from the Costco Bakery. Costco has updated their housemade Kirkland Signature muffin recipes and they’re now significantly smaller and sold in 8 packs with 8 servings per container instead of 6 packs with 12 servings per container. The new recipe is made with significantly higher quality ingredients like real butter instead of soybean oil, which in turn, also makes them quite a bit more expensive. See my review and nutritional facts below.

This change has been met with highly mixed sentiments by Costco members – naturally it is highly dependent on one’s personal priorities and needs – and it’s a delicate balance between healthy food and keep one’s grocery bill under a reasonable budget. Not many people have no limit on groceries! But obviously if low cost of food is one’s number one priority at this time, then this change certainly won’t be a welcome one. We posted awhile back about MAHA and anticipated changes in connection with that, and these are another example changes we’ve seen recently in Costco.

My Review

Before I review, I’ll just note that the new blueberries and cream muffins from Costco still shake out to cost under a buck at $0.87 each- which is a fraction of the cost of buying them from any bakery or coffee shop, or even a grocery store really. So I think from a price perspective, they’re still on the cheaper side of a store bought, pre-made muffin. For today, I’m going to review them regardless of the price change – as that’s just highly personal to each individual – I know it’s a sticking point for some 🙂

I do appreciate the presentation of the individual muffins. The former Costco muffins were huge – they were technically 2 servings – and I actually found serving them at brunches or showers to be a little awkward because they were too large for guests to take a whole one, and I thought it was odd to cut them in half – these new ones are much classier to serve for an event and they look like bakery muffins with the parchment paper wrap. They’re also a better size for kids (or anyone) for breakfast or a snack. Maybe teenagers will disagree – they can probably take down two of the new ones, lol, but teenagers eat a LOT. I don’t know there’s enough food in all of Costco for teenagers. LOL!

The flavor of the muffin itself was good. Our family could do without the streusel topping – it’s just overkill on an already sweet muffin base. I like streusel on a less sweet muffin base, but this was just sugar overload. Blueberry muffins are delicious on their own, they don’t need streusel. We still liked them but we scraped off most of the streusel topping, so I haven’t bought them again…probably won’t to be honest. I would prefer a plain blueberry that doesn’t have the topping. We didn’t dislike them – they were good – we just don’t like streusel on top of a blueberry muffin. I’d love to see plain blueberry muffins though!
