While I am not a huge fan of their pre-packaged produce I do think they have some great, affordable products.
I was keen to try their Pumpkin Bread and Muffin Mix, I hate packet mix cakes but this one is actually a winner!
As usual I altered some of the cooking directions. Here is my version......
The mix requires:
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1 cup of water
I used 2 organic eggs, 1/2 cup of olive oil (of course you can use coconut, rice bran etc.) and instead of adding 1 cup of water I used 1/2 cup of almond milk and 1/2 cup of water.
I then also added 1/2 cup of finely grated carrot for extra nutrition.
The mix is a bit runnier than normal muffin mix but the addition of almond milk makes the muffins moist and fluffy! The carrot goes really well in these too, its a perfect way to sneak in some veggies!
Other additions you could experiment with:
- Nuts (pecans, walnuts etc.)
- Cream cheese frosting
- Dried fruit (cranberries etc)
- grated zucchini (just watch the water content, you may need to add less water)
- chocolate chips
- lemon/orange zest
Whether you alter the recipe for nutrition or taste this versatile muffin mix is definitely a great Autumnal treat!
