Alright, there is one more mix I wanted to share with you before I started sneezing, coughing, and blowing my nose and I’ve mustered the energy to get it done! This recipe comes from honestly one of the best muffin recipe around. In fact, I already showed you the recipe when we were doing all of the cakes (Chocolate Lava cake, Dark Chocolate cake, Strawberry Cake, Pineapple Upside Down Cake, etc.) but now I’m going to show you how you can make it a basic muffin mix to use any time-this is also the other mix featured in my Studio 5 Spot! Also, please leave a comment if you are interested in me dedicating next month to MIXES or EASY GOURMET FOOD. THANKS!

USING THE MIX:

Mix all ingredients together, except blueberries. Fold in blueberries. Fill muffin cups right to the top.

CRYSTAL’S FOOD STORAGE TIPS
If you’re going to use freeze dried fruit (different from dehydrated fruit) don’t hydrate it before adding to your batter. They will turn to mush! Simply put them in as-is and then stir, they will get hydrated enough in the batter.

Help Spread the Word!
I love it when you share my tips and recipes for food storage! Do me a quick favor (and remember it’s my birthday!), if you like what you see please share it on facebook, pinterest, or blog about it! And make sure you link either the word “food storage” or “Everyday Food Storage” back to me. Thanks-it makes all the hard work worth it!
Thanks for sharing how to make the muffins using the mix AND with the one-bowl method. I have a question, though: If you use dehydrated fruit, do you need to add extra liquid to the batter? I’m afraid that the muffins will turn out dry because the dried fruit absorbed some of the liquid.

I’d love to see an option put in for powdered shortening (like you did for
powdered milk). Then it would be an “add water” only recipe (:>).
You could do that but it is a lot more money, calories, and fat.
But if you really want an add only water mix just use my instructions for making your own mixes.

I use unsweetened applesauce, instead of oil. I’ve never used bean puree, but would love to try it! I do love using zucchini in cakes, and muffins.
This sounds great. I can’t wait to give this a try. Thanks for the recipe.
Thanks Crystal for all your hard work. Today was a flop, rolls over-risen, angel food cake flop, overcast & windy so can’t try the new sun oven as I had planned. Oh Well. I do have a question. How do you get the powdered egg white mixed with the water without lots of clumps?
