Muffins in a matter of minutes
Wednesday, March 19, 2008
We've been experimenting in our house lately with baking muffins and cakes. We've tried the Well and Good mixes, Empower, and Basco. All have proven to be quite good. A few tips that we have developed in the process:
- Use a little less oil than described on the packet mix instructions
- Add some frozen berries to the muffin mixes - they taste amazing!
- Cook the muffins for a few extra minutes to ensure that they don't end up soggy the next day
- Give it a try - it only takes 30 minutes including preparation time to make!
