Ingredients

  • 18 cups flour
  • 5 cups sugar
  • 2 1/4 cups buttermilk powder or nonfat dry milk
  • 6 tablespoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in a VERY large bowl, and stir gently until combined.  Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry location.

To make muffins:

  • Preheat oven to 400F degrees.  Spray two muffin tins with non-stick spray, or prepare with paper liners.
  • In large bowl, beat 4 eggs.  Add 3 teaspoons vanilla, 2 cups water and 3/4 cup vegetable or canola oil.  
  • Stir in 5 1/2 cups of dry muffin mix, just until moistened.  Gently add in any mix-ins (see notes or find the full list at grouprecipes.com).  
  • Spoon into prepared muffin tins, making sure to fill each muffin cup to the top.  Optional: Add topping(s).
  • Bake at 400F for 18-20 minutes until tops are golden brown and toothpick inserted into muffin comes out clean.

Notes

Here are a few of the mix-in options we use most often:
Blueberry - add 2 cups fresh or frozen berries
Strawberry - add 2 cups fresh or frozen chopped berries
Mixed berries - add 2 cups combo of fresh or frozen chopped berries
Lemon Poppy Seed - add 2 pkgs (3.4oz) lemon flavor instant pudding, 2 tablespoons poppy seeds, omit 1 cup water and replace with 1 cup lemon juice
Pumpkin - add 2 cups solid pack pumpkin and 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice (add 1/2 cup chopped nuts if desired)
Cream Cheese topping - mix 2 8oz pkgs softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup sugar and 2 eggs, then drop by rounded tablespoon onto top of each muffin before baking
