Ingredients for Blueberry Muffins with Pancake Mix
You only need a few simple ingredients for this easy recipe!
- Pancake Mix. I always have Bisquick in my pantry, whether it's store bought Bisquick or homemade Bisquick, you'll find it in my kitchen! You can make so many delicious recipes besides pancakes! You can make peanut butter cookies with pancake mix or banana bread with pancake mix just to name a few recipes!
- Sugar. To add some sweetness to the muffin batter.
- Melted Butter. I prefer melted butter in my muffins because I think they give the muffins that delicious, fluffy texture. You can use vegetable oil, canola oil, coconut oil, or even a light olive oil.
- Milk. Whole milk adds to the fluffy texture, but you can use 2% milk, almond milk, soy milk, or your favorite nondairy milk.
- Blueberries. Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used in these blueberry pancake mix muffins. If you have some blueberries that are on their last leg, this is a great way to put those blueberries to good use and not waste them.

Step 3: Mix the blueberries into the muffin batter in the large mixing bowl.
Step 4: Scoop the muffin batter into the cupcake liners or muffin liners in the muffin pan. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
Variations
- Change up the mix ins! Instead of fresh blueberries, mix in chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, fresh fruit chopped up, or your favorite muffin ingredients.
- Add flavorings! Add vanilla extract or a bit of lemon zest into the pancake batter for some extra flavor.
- Add a topping! You can add a streusel topping like these apple streusel muffins, or a drizzle of icing like these pumpkin sourdough cookies.

Once the pancake muffins have cooled to room temperature on a wire rack, place them in an airtight container and keep them on the counter for up to 5 days.

Blueberry Muffins with Pancake Mix FAQs
You can, but you might still want to add a little extra sugar to the batter as well.
Make sure to not overmix the batter and the fat in the batter will make sure the muffins stay moist. Don't use skim milk or skimp on the melted butter in these muffins.

I tried this with Kodiak cake mix and it looked too thick but they turned out great! I added about 3/4 cup extra blueberries because we love them loaded!
