These Bisquick Muffins are my go-to muffin recipe when I want muffins on the table quickly and easily. You can make them plain or customized by adding blueberries, chocolate chips, cranberries, or nuts. Say goodbye to premade muffin mixes because Bisquick works just as good, if not better.

Growing up, I remember always having Bisquick in our pantry. My dad and I would make breakfast every weekend, and Bisquick pancakes were one of my favorite things to make.
Not so fun fact: When I was a kid, I never closed the bag of Bisquick after using it 🫣; I just left it open in the cupboard. I did this with basically everything: cereal, cookies, etc. My parents never taught me to close things up properly, and one time, when I reached for my bag of Bisquick, I noticed it got infested with pantry moths, and I had to throw the whole box away. Blegh.
Key ingredients
You do not need many ingredients for these muffins, which is why they are so convenient. Just add milk, eggs, sugar, and your choice of berries, chocolate chips, nuts, or nothing at all. What I love about Bisquick is that it has a lot of cornstarch in it, so it is almost like cake flour. The muffins come out super tender and fluffy.
Pro tip: mix until just combined
You do not want to overmix the batter otherwise the muffins will be dense and chewy. Mix until JUST combined and they will come out super soft and fluffy. The batter should still have plenty of lumps. Something like this is what you’re after:
Optional streusel
I made a brown sugar streusel to top the blueberry muffins. I really like adding it because it adds a crunchy texture. Here is what the streusel looked like before and after adding it to the muffins.
📋 Recipe
Bisquick Muffins
Ingredients
- 2 cups Bisquick mix
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ⅔ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup fresh or frozen blueberries (or cranberries, chocolate chips, nuts, or nothing at all)
Optional streusel topping
- ¼ cup all-purpose-flour
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and grease a 9-cup muffin tray or use paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the Bisquick and sugar.
- In a liquid measuring cup, measure ⅔ cup of milk. Add the egg and oil and whisk until evenly incorporated.
- Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until JUST combined; there should be plenty of lumps in the batter. Fold in the blueberries.
- Divide the batter into the 9-cup muffin tray. If your tray holds more than 9 muffins, add a tablespoon of water to any empty cups.
- Optional streusel: Combine the streusel ingredients into a small bowl and use a pastry cutter to work in the butter until it resembles coarse bread crumbs. Sprinkle the streusel on top of the muffins.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes (15 for fresh blueberries and 18 for frozen blueberries) until golden brown on top.
