To use this muffin mix, you will typically need to add a few common wet ingredients such as eggs, milk, and oil or melted butter. The package directions will specify the exact quantities needed for each. Combine the wet ingredients in a separate bowl and then add the dry muffin mix. Stir just until the ingredients are combined; overmixing can result in tough muffins. Spoon the batter into prepared muffin tins and bake according to the package instructions until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike scratch baking, this mix eliminates the need to measure and combine numerous dry ingredients. It offers a consistent result, as the proportions are pre-set. Some mixes may include flavorings or inclusions like chocolate chips, while others are plain bases for you to customize.
