I keep this basic muffin mix on hand all the time. Having this ready makes muffins a quick snack or breakfast to throw together when the craving hits.

Basic Muffin Mix

In a gallon baggie or other container with a lid add the following:

• 9 cups flour
• 3 cups sugar
• 6 teaspoons baking powder
• 3 teaspoons salt

Seriously, that’s it. Give it a good shake and store in the freezer until your ready to use. This makes about 12 cups of basic muffin mix.

A few ideas to get you going . . . I usually quadruple these and put a couple dozen in the freezer for later.
