Easy Muffin Mix

 

Today I thought I would share a little mommy hack for you.

I do cook breakfast 5 days a week.

(Daddy picks it up on the weekends)

Impressive right? No, not really!

This is what I do on Muffin Mondays...

 

 

 I keep a jar of homemade muffin mix in the pantry.

I got the recipe from Taste of Home!

 

FOR THE MIX:

 8 cups flour

1 cup sugar

1/3 cup baking powder

1 tablespoon salt

cup shortening

Combine all the above ingredients in a big bowel.

Use a large fork or pastry cutter to mix in the shortening.

It will be kind of chunky, but it should be!

This mix lasts us about four weeks or four batches.

*Feel free to store this mix in the freezer if you will not be using right away.

*This mix can also be halved!

 

TO BAKE:

 2 1/2 cups of mix

1 egg

1 cup of milk

Any of the following:

blueberries, lemon juice, cinnamon,

apple sauce, diced apples, chocolate chips,

cinnamon chips, nuts,

 bananas, froze fruit, raisins,

or something you like.

 

Combine all the above ingredients in a big bowel.

Add to lined or greased (Pam) muffin tin.

Bake for 15 to 20 min at 4/25'.

 

 

As you can see I add streusel topping to mine...

This is also made ahead and stored in a small jar.

STREUSEL TOPPING:

3/4 sugar

3/4 flour

1 1/2 T cinnamon (optional)

OR

1 T brown sugar (optional)

 

This is the mixture I store ahead...

just sprinkle on top of muffins with a tad of butter...

 before you bake them.

 This is a life changer girls!

Let me know in the comments your

 favorite muffin flavor so we can try it!
