Make Bisquick Muffins with Variations

When learning how to make muffins, easy Bisquick muffins can be turned into a variety of types of muffin recipes. As many of you know, Bisquick is a premixed baking mix. It was introduced to the American public in the 1930’s and has since become a staple in many American homes. It is a blend of flour, shortening, salt and baking powder. By simple additions to this mix, many products like biscuits can be made very quickly. Over the years, more easy recipes have been developed using Bisquick; everything from quiches, coffee cakes, main entrees and endless other recipes.

The following Bisquick muffins are from a low fat muffin recipe made with skim milk and an egg whites recipe. This single recipe can then be changed by adding fruit like blueberries or other fruit to the batter. It also can be changed by stirring in ingredients like oatmeal and raisins which totally change the flavor of the muffin recipe. Use your imagination with this recipe and try different fruits, nuts, chocolate chips, etc.
