WFMW: Muffin Mixes...

I thought I would do a Works for Me Wednesday (sponsored by Shannon from Rocks in my Dryer) this week. It has been a while since I have done one. I am doing it a day early because I know I won't get around to doing it tomorrow. I was reminded of this idea this morning when my husband made muffins for breakfast. I am running low on mixes and need to make up some more. I mix up the dry ingredients for muffins and put them in a bag in the cupboard, so I can easily throw them together in the morning. I usually make about 12 of them at a time.

I recently found "fruit morsels" at my local Kitchen Kneads. They are the things that you find in regular store bought muffin mixes that taste like blueberries, but are really some form of food coloring, corn syrup and flavoring. They come in raspberry, blueberry, cherry, strawberry, and cranberry. They are fun to throw in muffins if you don't have any real fruit.
Here is my muffin recipe. If you are interested in making your own muffin mixes just put all of the dry ingredients in a quart size ziploc bag and label the outside with what wet ingredients you need to add and what temperature to cook them at and for how long. It works for me.

Muffins
1 3/4 cup flour (I often will substitute part for whole wheat flour)
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 beaten egg
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
desired add in (dried cranberries & white chocolate chips are my hubby's favorite)

Mix all ingredients together. Pour into muffin pan lined with baking papers. Bake at 400 for 20 minutes. Makes 12 muffins.
