🫐 Classic Betty Crocker Blueberry Muffins (Box Mix)
Ingredients
- 1 box Betty Crocker™ Wild Blueberry Box Muffin Mix
- 2/3 cup water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- Drained canned wild blueberries (included in the mix)
- Muffin liners or greased muffin pan
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Follow the temperature on the box (typically 425°F / 400°F depending on pan type).(BettyCrocker.com)
- Mix: In a medium bowl, combine mix, water, oil, and eggs until blended (batter may be slightly lumpy).(BettyCrocker.com)
- Add blueberries: Gently stir in the drained blueberries from the mix pouch.(BettyCrocker.com)
- Fill cups: Divide batter evenly among 12 regular muffin cups.(BettyCrocker.com)
- Bake: Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean (about 15–20 min for regular muffins).(BettyCrocker.com)
- Cool: Let cool 5 minutes, then remove from pan.(BettyCrocker.com)
✔ You can also make mini or jumbo muffins using different bake times listed on the box.(BettyCrocker.com)
💪 Protein Twist (Optional Add‑Ins)
Since the boxed mix doesn’t include extra protein, you can boost them easily:
Ways to increase protein
- Add 1/4–1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt to the batter (reduce water slightly).
- Stir in 1 scoop vanilla whey or plant protein powder — add 1–2 tbsp extra milk if the batter gets too thick.
- Fold in chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts for a bit of natural protein and crunch.
(These are simple ways to enhance protein without changing the blueberry muffin base.)
🍽 Tips for Best Results
- Don’t overmix: Stir until just combined — lumps are okay.
- Line the pan: Paper liners make removal easy and keep muffins moist.
- Add zest: A bit of lemon zest brightens the blueberry flavor.
