Cake Mix Muffins
Cake mix is a blessing to have on hand. It’s the perfect way to make a quick and easy dessert without having to measure out or mix all of the ingredients yourself. Although cake mix desserts are simple to make, they can be just as delicious as ones that are made from scratch.
There are so many different ways to use cake mix to make delicious desserts. You can make a simple cakes, cupcakes, cookies, bars, and so much more! In this case, I used white cake mix, freshly picked blueberries, and some other common ingredients. The end result was a fluffy, moist, flavorful muffin that was absolutely delicious and family-approved!

Ingredients
Cake Mix – I used white cake mix, but you could use French vanilla or yellow cake mix as well.
Baking powder – A little extra boost to help these rise. I made the mistake of opening my oven early and the muffins sank a bit so don’t be like me!
Flour – Helps to firm up the muffins and make them more dense than traditional cupcakes.
Oil – You can use canola oil or vegetable oil for these.
Milk – Adds moisture and liquid to create a thick batter. You can use a any fat percentage of milk or almond milk.
Blueberries – I love fresh the most, but you can use thawed, patted dry frozen berries as well.
How to Make Cake Mix Blueberry Muffins
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line 2 cupcake tins with paper liners; set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the dry ingredients. Add in the eggs, oil, and milk; combine until smooth. Fold in the blueberries.
Fill each paper liner with batter about ¾ of the way full.
Bake on the center rack for 16-20 minutes. Muffins will be golden brown, and feel firm and springy when gently depressed in the center.
Transfer muffins to a wire rack and allow them to cool. Enjoy!
Storing
These muffins freeze incredibly well. Just be sure to store them in an airtight bag, or container. We use our food vacuum sealer to freeze ours for up to 3 months.
At room temperature (non-humid environment), these will last for up to 5 days for best flavor and texture.
