Many coffee shops and bakeries serve lovely huge muffins which are 5-6 inches (12.5-15.0cm) across the top. How do they do that? By slightly adjusting a regular muffin recipe!

1
Obtain a jumbo sized muffin pan. These are usually sized for 6 muffin openings in the same size pan as the usual 12. Also gather the needed utensils and bowls. See the "Things you will need" list below.
2
Gather the ingredients in one spot.

3
Preheat the oven to 25 degrees LOWER than the recipe or muffin calls for.[1]
4
Mix the dry and wet ingredients in separate bowls before combining.
5
Combine the wet and dry ingredients with the least amount of stirring possible. You want a wet batter, but you don't want to mix it so much that you make the flour part of the muffin rubbery from gluten kneading. Light, fluffy muffins result from working quickly and mixing briefly. Recipes will often state this as "Combine until just mixed" or "Stir together until mixed. Batter will be (slightly) lumpy".[2]

7
Spray some pan releases or oil onto the liners if you wish to prevent them adhering to the muffins later.[3]
8
Fill the lined muffin pans 2/3 full with batter.[4] (Or divide the batter for a 12 "regular muffin" recipe evenly into 6 jumbo pan holes).
9
Bake for 5 minutes longer than the original recipe calls for (usually around 25-30 minutes),[5] or until the muffins are slightly browned and the tops bounce back when you tap them with a finger.[6]
10
Remove to cool.

Enjoy!

Question
How many liquid muffin batter ounces does it take to make a 5 oz muffin?

Community Answer
5 ounces of batter'll do it! Usually, whatever the weight of the batter you put in the case is, that's the weight you'll get once it's baked!

Question
How do you get a high dome on your muffins?
Community Answer
Make sure to fill the batter nearly to the top, but not all the way. Remember that the muffins will rise in the oven, you don't want them to overflow. If after this it doesn't rise, try adding a small amount of baking powder.

Tips
An easy way to measure batter into the muffin liners is to use an "ice cream scoop" or "portion" type spoon. These scoop up a given amount and then release it with the push of a thumb lever or squeeze of your hand.

Use a toothpick in the center to see if they are done; if it comes out clean, then they are done, but if it has dough on it when you pull it out, then its not quite done yet.

Use your sense of sight. Muffin batter will turn slightly dull and start to tan in the heat of an oven when it has baked.

Have a clear, open area on a nearby counter or on top of the oven. Place a clean towel, folded in half, on the counter to prevent damaging the surface, and to keep the muffin tin from sliding off easily. Move the tin to the towel before trying to close the door of the oven, this will help prevent burns, and provide a tidy place to pull the muffins after they have cooled.
Thanks
