How to Make Bisquick Muffins

Bisquick muffins with blueberries, chocolate chips or lemon are delicious for breakfast. Fluffy, easy and quick to throw together to bake. If you loved our Bisquick cobbler with frozen fruit you’ll think these are amazing too.

Bisquick Breakfast Muffins

They’re perfect at the beginning of the day, savory like our Bisquick sausage muffins, or as a yummy dessert too. If you have fresh fruit you could fold those in at the end instead of just lemon juice and zest.

Ingredient Notes

You are going to need a box of this dry Bisquick mix + ingredients necessary to make 1 batch of 14.

Then you will need to add 1 extra egg than what is listed will transition this from pancakes to muffins. This will make them fluffy. For this brand you need 2 c. mix + 2 c. milk and 1 egg. If you use a different type it may require slightly different measurements.

If you want to make the ones featured here, fresh lemon juice is best versus bottled. Then you can use the zest as well. In that regard you could swap it out for orange, mandarins, or any other citrus you’d prefer.

Bisquick Chocolate Chip Muffins

Love chocolate, add those inside there if you like! Personally if I go this direction I keep it to about 1/2 cup so you don’t weigh them down, I like to keep them fluffy. Use mini semi-sweet chocolate chips so you get a few in each bite too!

How to Make Muffins with Bisquick

You do not need 2 medium bowls to mix this, for dry and wet ingredients. Since there is essentially 2 main items you can just measure and combine them together in one.

I use regular size muffin cups inside a muffin tin. Mini muffin pans work too but the timing would be less, almost half. Both come out light and fluffy as long as you do not over-bake them.

My tip for this is to set to the minimum time since oven temps and altitudes vary slightly. Just like with our Bisquick biscuits fluffy, as soon as the middle springs back when touched gently with your finger take them out! Beyond that remove them from the pan itself and place on a cooling rack.

How to Make Bisquick Pancake Muffins

You want to start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl mix batter for 14 pancakes. Mix together 2 c bisquick + 1 egg + 1/3 c sugar + 2/3 c milk + 2 tbsp vegetable oil (or melted butter).

1. Add lemon juice and zest, stir. Spray muffin pan or use liners.
2. Fill 3/4 of the way full – will make 12-15 muffins.
3. Now bake for about 15 minutes or until top springs back when touched gently in the middle with your finger.
4. Remove from muffin pan and place on cooling rack. Shake powdered sugar on top for added sweetness and enjoy.
5. 15-18 minutes or until golden brown is typically the perfect amount of bake time. From start to finish you’ll need 30 minutes to get these done.

How do you know when Bisquick muffins are done?

If you don’t have a toothpick don’t worry about it, I never use those. I have a much better way to determine if they are done. Use the finger trick!! I’ve used for years and years and works best if you ask me. When they are risen and look done, open and gently touch the center, let go, if it springs back immediately they are done!

Bisquick Muffins Blueberry

Yep you can add any sort of fresh or frozen fruit into the mix too. Gently fold them in at the very end. Blueberries probably work best. If you don’t want them to sink to the bottom you can toss with flour first before adding into the batter.

Is Bisquick the same as pancake mix?

Kind of. You can make pancakes with this popular brand name but not vice versa. There are a few different Bisquick recipes on the side of the box you can use.

Once you have the basic batter for any of these you can alter slightly. Want sweeter flapjacks, add a bit of brown sugar into the mix or 1/3 cup mashed ripe bananas. It is super versatile!

I also love adding semi sweet chips, mini style and you’d never know they weren’t homemade. They are a great idea when neighbors move in or someone pops by to say hi and you want to have a treat.

What else can you make with Bisquick?

Beyond this idea? Well you can bake homemade air fryer biscuits if you follow the directions to make biscuit dough. They come out quite good and a great side dish. Love Red Lobster? You can follow our Bisquick cheddar bay biscuits recipe to make them at home yourself.

Use the same batter to place dollops inside chicken and dumplings. For dessert though, you’ve gotta’ make Bisquick chocolate chip cookies!

Looking for other easy breakfast ideas? We have a bunch but here are a few that are great served with these, or instead of;

• Our huckleberry muffins use the easy muffin batter shared above.
• You can “bake” these using our muffins in air fryer directions, that is fun!
• Apple carrot muffins are a great combination with fruit and vegetables inside!
