Easy Berry Bisquick Muffins

There are mornings when you have every intention of making a homemade breakfast… and then reality sets in. That’s exactly where these Easy Bisquick Berry Muffins come to the rescue. With just a handful of simple ingredients and frozen mixed berries, you can have a dozen soft, fluffy muffins in the oven in just minutes.

Fresh from the oven, they’re tender on the inside, with golden tops dusted with a little sparkling sugar, and every bite is packed with sweet, juicy berries. Whether you’re pouring a cup of coffee before the house wakes up, serving brunch to friends, or grabbing a quick breakfast on your way out the door, these easy Bisquick muffins are always a welcome addition to the table.

They’re proof that homemade doesn’t have to be complicated. In about 20 minutes, you’ll have a warm batch of berry muffins that taste like you spent far more time making them than you actually did.

These light and fluffy Easy Berry Bisquick Muffins are unbelievably quick to come together. Dusted with sugar and bursting with juicy berries, they’re the perfect companion to your morning coffee or favorite cuppa. With a moist, fluffy center and beautifully golden tops, they taste like they came from a neighborhood bakery, but they’re made with simple pantry staples and frozen mixed berries, so you can enjoy them any time of year. One of my favorite things about this recipe is that the berries go straight from the freezer into the batter. No thawing required!

The very first time I made these muffins was back in 2015 when a friend was coming over for coffee after we dropped the kids off at school. I wanted something homemade to serve with our coffee, but I didn’t have much time. After finding an old Betty Crocker recipe from the 1930s and making a few changes with ingredients I already had on hand, these muffins were born.

I happened to have a box of Bisquick in the pantry that I used for pancakes, and when I make Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits, along with a bag of frozen mixed berries that I always keep in the freezer for smoothies. The result was everything I hoped for: soft, fluffy muffins filled with berries, topped with a light sprinkle of sugar, and ready in about 20 minutes. They’ve been a favorite around here ever since.

Bisquick Muffin Recipe

Some mornings just call for something easy. These Bisquick Berry Muffins have been one of those dependable recipes in my kitchen for years because they come together in one bowl with ingredients I almost always have on hand. The frozen berries make them perfect year-round; there’s very little sugar compared to many bakery muffins, and the sprinkle of sugar on top gives each muffin a lightly crisp, sparkling finish. They’re simple enough for busy weekdays but just as welcome on a weekend brunch table with a hot cup of coffee or tea.

Ingredients in Bisquick Berry Muffins

Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and cherries were included in the frozen berry mix that I had on hand when whipping these muffins together. However, you can use any berries that you and your family enjoy the most. The most common singular berry used is the blueberry. Just replace the frozen berry mix with frozen blueberries to get easy blueberry Bisquick muffins.

You will find the complete measurements and instructions in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.

• Bisquick Baking Mix provides everything you need for light, fluffy muffins without measuring flour, baking powder, or salt separately.
• Egg helps bind the batter together while giving the muffins structure.
• Milk adds moisture and creates a tender crumb.
• Vegetable Oil keeps the muffins soft and moist.
• Sugar lightly sweetens the batter without making the muffins overly sugary.
• Frozen Mixed Berries add bursts of fruity flavor throughout every bite. I like a blend of blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and cherries. Keep them frozen until you’re ready to stir them into the batter.
• Extra Sugar sprinkled over the tops before baking creates a lightly crisp, bakery-style finish.

How to Make Easy Berry Bisquick Muffins

Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick, egg, milk, vegetable oil, and sugar until everything is just mixed together.

Gently fold the frozen berries into the batter. Be careful not to overmix, or the berries may begin to break apart and color the batter.

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Sprinkle the tops with a little extra sugar.

Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Storage

Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

For longer storage, freeze the muffins in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or warm it in the microwave for about 20 seconds.

Bisquick Muffin Variations

One of my favorite things about this easy Bisquick muffin recipe is how versatile it is. For classic Bisquick Blueberry Muffins, simply swap the mixed berries for 1 cup of frozen or fresh blueberries, adding frozen berries straight from the freezer without thawing. If you’re in the mood for something a little sweeter, replace the berries with 1 cup of semisweet or milk chocolate chips to make Bisquick Chocolate Chip Muffins. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top before baking for that bakery-style finish. Once you have this simple muffin recipe, the possibilities are almost endless!

Frequently Asked Questions about Bisquick Muffins
