Mix It Up Muffins
Mix up the dry ingredients and then use this premade mix later for a quick batch of muffins. I often double or triple the dry mix so it lasts longer! When you're ready to bake muffins, measure out the dry mix as directed below and stir in mix-ins of your choosing to make a different flavor of muffins each time!
Servings: 12 muffins
Basic Mix
- 6.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 1.5 cups brown sugar
- 3 Tbsp. baking powder
- 1 Tbsp. salt
- 1/3 cup ground flax seeds
Mix all ingredients well. Store in an airtight container.

To Make Muffins
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Combine in a mixing bowl:
- 2.75 cups muffin mix
- 1.5 cups dairy free milk of your choice
- 1/2 cup coconut or vegetable oil or any oil with a mild flavor
- 1 tsp. vanilla optional
- 1+ cups add-ins of your choice see suggestions below
Spray muffin tin with nonstick spray. Spoon batter into muffin tins (usually fills 12). Bake for 25-30 minutes.
Notes
Add-in Suggestions:
Orange Raisin Muffins: Replace milk with orange juice and add 1 cup raisins. Optional: Zest of 1 orange.
Carrot Cake Muffins: Add 1 cup shredded carrot, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 1/2 cup raisins, and 1/2 cup dried pineapple. (Rehydrate raisins and dried pineapple first by soaking them in water until they are soft–then use the remaining soaking water as part of the liquid. Otherwise the muffins may dry out.) Optional: 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
Cranberry Muffins: Add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts and 1 cup cranberries, either soaked dried cranberries or whole fresh or frozen cranberries.
Carob Chip Muffins: Add 1/2 cup carob chips (or chocolate chips) and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.
Blueberry Muffins: Add 1 cup whole blueberries (fresh or frozen) and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.
Banana Nut Muffins: Add 1 mashed banana and 1/2 cup chopped nuts.
Oil-free Muffins: Replace all the oil with mashed banana. Applesauce works, but banana works better in this recipe.
