This mix makes a great gift nestled into a decorative basket along with a muffin tin, oven mitts, a timer, and some paper liners. Oh, and don't forget the recipe! This recipe can also be used for savory muffins, adding cheese and even sauteed onions, if you cut the sugar to 3/4 cup and omit the cinnamon and cloves.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 5 cups flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1-1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup instant nonfat dry milk powder
  • 1/4 cup baking powder
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 1 Tbsp. cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cloves

PREPARATION:

Mix in large bowl and store in air tight container.

To bake muffins, place 2 cups mix in a large bowl. Add 2/3 cup water, 1 slightly beaten egg and 1/4 cup oil and mix only until dry ingredients are moistened. Fill 12 paper lined muffin cups 1/2 full. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes until muffins are puffed and firm.

You could put a bit of jam on the top of the batter before baking. Or stir in 1/3 cup golden raisins when you add the egg, water, and oil. For savory muffins, stir in 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese, or saute 1/2 cup finely chopped onion in 1 Tbsp. olive oil until tender, and add that along with the egg, water, and oil. If you're making savory muffins, be sure that you cut down on the sugar and left the spices out of the muffin mix.
