Bisquick Muffin Recipe ingredients notes and substitutions
- Bisquick original baking mix – No Bisquick? No Problem! Make your own Bisquick mix with our DIY baking mix recipe.
- Milk – We used whole milk, but you can use 2% or skim milk.
- Blueberries – We used frozen blueberries in this recipe, but fresh blueberries work just as well.
- Butter – Melted butter adds flavor and moisture to your muffins. You can also use canola oil as a substitute.
- Lemon extract – this gives the muffins a bright, citrus flavor. You can use vanilla extract instead if you prefer.
Tips for making Blueberry Bisquick Muffins
- Avoid overmixing the ingredients.
Mix 2 cups Bisquick, sugar, melted butter, egg, and lemon extract in a large bowl until just combined. Overmixing will lead to tough muffins. - Fold blueberries into the muffin batter.
By gently folding the blueberries into the batter, you keep the blueberries intact. Broken blueberries can leak juice which turns the muffins a blueish/purple color. - Fill muffin pan wells only ¾ full of batter.
If the wells are completely full of batter, the muffin tops could overflow the cups. For even baking, fill any empty wells with 1/4 cup of water. - Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If the toothpick comes out clean, the muffins are done baking.
Is It Better To Use Fresh Or Frozen Blueberries In This Bisquick Blueberry Muffin Recipe?
With either variety, your muffins will be moist and delicious.
- If you have fresh blueberries, they’ll definitely give your muffins a burst of flavor and color.
- However, frozen blueberries work just as well in this Bisquick blueberry muffin recipe and are often more affordable and convenient.
Recipe Blueberry Muffins with Bisquick variations
- To give these muffins even more lemon flavor, zest one lemon into the batter.
- Add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts to the batter for crunchy texture. Walnuts or pecans go best with blueberries.
- Add a streusel topping by mixing together 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup Bisquick, and 1 tablespoon melted butter in a bowl. Use a tablespoon to sprinkle the streusel crumbles on the tops of the muffins before baking.
- For a lower-fat muffin, substitute applesauce for half of the butter in the recipe.
- Change up the flavor by using raspberries or blackberries instead of blueberries.
What To Serve With Bisquick Blueberry Muffins
These muffins are delicious on their own for breakfast, but they’re even. better with a cup of coffee, tea, or hot cocoa.
If you want to dress them up, try serving them with a dollop of whipped cream cheese or whipped butter. They’re also great with butter and jam spread on top.
Storage and Reheating Instructions
Store: Leftover muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Freezer: These muffins can also be frozen for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe bag or container. Thaw in the fridge or on the kitchen counter top before reheating. Or, to thaw more quickly, microwave for about 30 seconds.
Reheat: Bisquick muffins can be reheated in the microwave or oven. To reheat them in the microwave, place a damp paper towel over the muffin(s) and heat for 30-60 seconds. To reheat in the oven, wrap the muffins in tin foil and lay out on a baking sheet. The foil keeps in the moisture so the muffins don’t dry out. Warm them at 325ºF for 10-15 minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions
No, you don’t need to coat the blueberries in flour before adding them to the batter. This technique is used to prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the muffins. In our recipe, the Bisquick mix will thicken the batter to the point where the blueberries stay suspended in the liquid.
Yes, just use gluten-free Bisquick and follow the instructions on the box.
This will result in a less tender, denser muffin, so instead we recommend using a non-dairy milk such as soy milk, almond milk, or oat milk.
The secret to moist muffins is to not overcook them. Overcooking leads to dry, crumbly muffins. Check them at 18-20 minutes (when the top begins to get light golden brown) and use a toothpick to ensure the center is completely cooked. Another tip is to use muffin liners to help retain the moisture after baking.
