adding sugar to muffin recipe
 

my bf made a batch of corn muffins that oozed over the sides, made one
huge muffin essentially, and took a good extra seven minutes to bake.
I think he added extra sugar, would that have caused that? It's a
cooks illustrated recipe that I've made before and never had a problem
with.

Maybe some of the ingredients were stale or expired.

excess sugar will lower the muffin batter viscosity making it prone to
such fault you mentioned
