Muffin Mix Oatmeal Apple and Oatmeal Blueberry Muffins

Yes I made these muffins from a mix. Does that make me lazy, no I think that it makes me a time saver. I live in a tiny town, like 8500 or so people. The closest large town, Winnipeg MB or Thunder Bay ON are both 4 hours away. Anyways the point is that ingredients for baking are kind of "extras" in my one income household.

I was wanting to use up some apples, so I doctored a mix. The mix I used was "No Name Oatmeal Muffin Mix."

Oatmeal Apple
What You Need

  • Oatmeal Muffin Mix (the large 900g bag)
  • Apples- I used about 1 1/2 cups of Gala Apples (it was like 3 medium apples. You could also use whatever apple you like to bake with.)
  • 3 tbsp apple sauce- to replace the one egg my mix called for
  • 1 cup water- this is just what my mix called for
  • dash cinnamon
Make It
I preheated the oven to 400F. I then put 1/2 the bag of dry mix into a large bowl. I peeled and chopped (small) my apples and added them to the dry mix. I stirred the apples to coat them in the mix. I then added remaining ingredients- water, applesauce and cinnamon to the bowl. I stirred until just mixed and no dry mix was left at the bottom.

I used an ungreased 12 muffin tray and put muffin liners in each slot. I separated the dough into 12 muffins and put them in the oven.I baked them for about 45 minutes. They took longer then the 25 minutes that it stated on the bag because of the fruit I added.

Oatmeal Blueberry
What You Need
  • Oatmeal Muffin Mix (the large 900g bag)
  • Frozen Blueberries- 1 cup would do, but my boyfriend likes blueberries so he added a lot more, closer to 2 cups! Also I used Wild blueberries, so if you use domestic (which are bigger) then you won't need as much. Honestly add as much blueberries as you like. LOL!
  • 1 egg- what my mix called for
  • 1 cup water- this is just what my mix called for
