A big dry muffin mix that stores airtight and bakes into apple cinnamon muffins one batch at a time. Keep it in the pantry or pack it in jars for gifts.

Ingredients

Dry mix (full 8 batches)

  • 12 cups flour (all-purpose, or a 1-to-1 gluten-free blend with xanthan gum)
  • 4½ cups sugar
  • 4½ tablespoons baking powder
  • 3 teaspoons salt
  • 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3 teaspoons ground nutmeg

Per batch

  • 2 cups mix
  • ½ cup shortening or oil
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Apple cinnamon add-in (per batch)

  • 1 cup diced apple
  • ½ teaspoon additional cinnamon

Directions

  • Stir the dry ingredients together well and store in an airtight container.
  • To bake: heat the oven to 400°F. Stir the wet ingredients and add-ins into 2 cups of the mix just until combined (lumps are fine).
  • Fill paper-lined cups about three-quarters full.
  • Bake for 18 to 21 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then on a rack. (For mini muffins, bake at 400°F for 10 to 12 minutes.)

Notes

Storage: about 6 months airtight (all-purpose); about 4 months for the gluten-free version (well sealed, certified GF baking powder). Zucchini muffins: 2 cups mix, 1 cup shredded zucchini lightly squeezed, 1 egg, ⅓ cup oil or melted butter, ¼ to ⅓ cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla, ½ teaspoon cinnamon; rest 5 minutes; 375°F for 18 to 22 minutes.
