How to make Bisquick strawberry muffins

Start with mixing all the ingredients in the medium size bowl. Don't add strawberries yet. Stir ingredients together until just combined and than gently fold in chopped strawberries. Do not overmix the batter.

Spray muffin tins with oil. I used a 12 muffin tin. Evenly add the batter into each muffin tin space (about couple tablespoons of muffin batter). Make the Streusel topping. Mix soft butter, sugar and Bisquick mix until nice and crumbly. Put on top of raw muffin batter right before it goes to the oven. Bake for about 15 minutes.

Ingredients

Here is what you will need to make strawberry Bisquick muffins:

Bisquick - a ready-made baking mix of flour, salt, sugar, and baking soda. It is a great mix to have on hand because you don't have to measure out the dry ingredients and it can be used to make pancakes, waffles, biscuits, and muffins.

Sugar - keeps baked goods soft and fluffy while adding sweetness.

Milk - adds flavor and moisture and helps the muffins to brown in the oven.

Strawberries - fresh in-season berries give the best flavor and texture.

Vegetable oil - helps keep the muffins moist and tender.

Butter - to make the streusel topping.

Egg - adds moisture and binds all the ingredients together.

What is the secret to fluffy muffins

If you struggle with making light and fluffy muffins, here are 4 tips that can help them come out great.

Use vegetable oil, it helps to create a tender cake-like muffin that's soft and fluffy. Often times baked goods like cookies and cakes require creamed butter, but for muffins, it can cause them to be thick and dense. For this recipe, you only need a little bit of oil but it is an important ingredient.

Use milk instead of water. Milk helps to soften the texture of the muffins and it gives them a golden brown top.

Starting with room temperature ingredients is also helpful. If you have the time, take out your milk and egg a few minutes before you are ready to start baking. This will help the muffins to be fluffy and moist and to rise faster in the oven.

Lastly, don't over mix the muffin batter. Just mix the batter until everything is combined, otherwise, your muffins can turn out dense.

Frequently asked questions

Is Bisquick the same as pancake mix?

They are very similar but Bisquick is a versatile baking mix that can be used to make many different baked goods, such as biscuits, muffins, pancakes, and waffles. Pancake mix can generally only be used to make pancakes and waffles.

Why are my Bisquick strawberry muffins not light and fluffy?

Using too much leavening such as baking powder or baking soda can cause muffins to be dense. Your muffins could also turn out dry and crumbly if not enough liquid was added or if the batter was overmixed.

What can I add to my muffin batter?

Any fruit could work in this recipe. Fresh blueberries, blackberries, or frozen mixed berries would all be great additions to your muffin batter.

How do I keep my strawberries from sinking?

You can lightly coat your strawberries with Bisquick or flour before gently folding them into your muffin batter to keep the berries from sinking.

Can I add frozen strawberries to my muffin mix?

Yes! Fresh strawberries are ideal but if they are out of season or unavailable, frozen berries would work great for this recipe. There's no need to thaw them but avoid over-mixing so your muffin batter doesn't change color.

Leftovers

You can easily keep Bisquick strawberry muffins fresh for up to 4 day on the counter. Store them in the air tight container on the counter, in the container place couple pieces of paper towels.

It will prevent muffins from getting soggy. Do not refrigerate muffins. Cool air from the fridge changes the texture of the muffins and they may become dry.
