Betty Crocker Blueberry Muffins

My mum's oven broke a while back and she still hasn't gotten it fixed. Perfect timing for winter, hey? Mum's a huge fan of the baking packets you buy from your local grocer because really, they are great. You need minimal ingredients, usually only eggs, water and oil, mix with a spoon and bake. Anyway, my mum had a packet of her favourite blueberry muffins from Betty Crocker that she couldn't bake so asked me to do it for her.

Making things from scratch is always fun, but sometimes it is sooo good to whip something up when you're busy in literally ten minutes! The pack I used only costs around $4.00 and makes 12 regular muffins. My mum likes to take these with her to work so I made mini muffins, and got 36 minis out of the pack.

This particular pack only required 3/4 cup of water and 1 egg. How simple! All I needed to do was preheat the oven to 200 degrees, combine the dry ingredients provided with the wet and mix with a wooden spoon until combined. Once I spooned the mixture into the tray, I then had to add a small amount of the blueberry mix and using a skewer, swirl the berries through.

 

Because of their size, these little bad boys took 6 minutes. They are the perfect bite size treat and turn out perfect every time. Of course, its all very satisfying making muffins from scratch but I highly recommend these types of baking packets for people who aren't quite comfortable baking or whom are short on time. They really are fab!

 

Happy Wednesday!
