Recipes For Krusteaz Basic Muffin Mix
Love a good muffin but not totally into baking from scratch? This post is for you. How to Make Box Muffins Better is loaded with all my best tips and tricks for turning out gorgeous muffins with a perfectly tender crumb, using a box mix.
Just kidding. I am totally not above using a box mix. I love them for cakes, I love them for cookies, and honestly, those little 98 cent packages of muffin mix you can grab at the store? They are totally delicious. But! If you are serving them up at a breakfast or brunch, and you want your box mix muffins to look the part, I have loads of tips for impressing guests whith a cheap box mix.
Mixing up your box mix is the first place you are going to start, and to get those high-domed bakery-style muffins, there are a few tricks you need to have handy right away. The very first thing I need you to do though, is to PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 425°F.
Almond Flour Muffins (fluffy & Perfect!)
I know the box says 375° or 400° in most cases. But the initial burst of heat is going to help our box mix muffins rise. The high heat creates steam that gives your box mix muffins rapid rise. So after you run through the rest of these tips, know that AT LEAST those first 4-5 minutes will be at 425°F. If your box mix instructions STATE 425°F, it’s all good.
You technically can, but it’s not recommended. MUFFINS AND CUPCAKES ARE NOT THE SAME! If your box mix calls for water, it’s probably because adding milk will make them TOO MOIST. Have you ever had your muffins just totally stick to the paper liner? So they look great and taste great, but when you go to unwrap them and eat them, you are like WTF half my muffin is stuck to the paper.
All of this said though, if your muffin mix calls for milk, USE MILK! Martha White Just Add Milk is one of my favorites.
Krusteaz Gluten Free Wild Blueberry Muffin Mix
Have you ever made box muffins and they taste fine but they have just … the WRONG texture? Rubbery or tough muffins are because you got a little crazy with your mixer. My muffin preference is to whisk them up by hand. I like this OXO Balloon Whisk.
Too much egg can also throw you off here. We aren’t changing the actual science of what’s going on with your muffin mix. We are just helping it along a little.
I have LOADS of suggestions on what to add in to your muffins, and could basically go on here for days. But here are a few of my favorites:
Buttermilk Blueberry Muffins
This is important. Most box directions will have you stop at the halfway mark. But if you want big, tall, high-domed muffins, halfway won’t cut it. 3/4 of the way full will give you a nice tall dome. ALMOST to the top will give you a muffin top.
PRO TIP: If you think you’ll have muffin tops (the good kind), you should spray the whole top of the muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
This is actually my very favorite way to jazz up muffins whether I made them from scratch or not. Streusel topping is so easy and it adds buttery sweetness, and makes your muffins look very profesh. To make streusel topping you need:
Pancake Mix Zucchini Muffins
Mix it up to a crumby consistency (I totally use my fingers for this) and sprinkle over the top of your muffins. These Blueberry Lemon Muffins are NOT from a mix; it’s a from-scratch recipe. But it calls for the same streusel and they are DELICIOUS.

I want to add 2 medium ripe bananas to 2 pkgs of cinnamon sugar muffin mixes. The muffin mix calls for only 1/2 cup milk. Would I need to add anything else to the 2 7.5 Oz. Muffin mixes for them to be OK?
