Convenience mixes

Well I've been making up mixes this weekend when I had time.  Therefore I thought I'd share some of the ones I made this weekend with you all.   You can take just about any recipe and make it into a convenience mix for yourself.


Muffins

In large bag combine these ingredients

4 cups flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 sugar
1 cup dry milk
1/4 cup baking powder
2 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cloves

After they are mixed well measure 2 cups of mix into ziploc bags.

To make muffins add (per bag)

2/3 cups water
1 egg
1/4 cup oil


Stir until just mixed and bake 10-15 minutes in greased or lined muffin tin at 400 degrees.  You can easily add some raisins or put a teaspoon of jam on top of batter before baking.  I've also added applesauce or diced apples.  Just adjust the water so there not to soupy.


Waffles

In ziploc bag add these ingredients

1 cup flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
3 Tbsp. baking powder
1 Tbsp. salt
1/4 cup sugar

To make dump one bag in a bowl and stir the dry ingredients to mix.  Then add

2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/4 cup dried fruit or 1/2 cup chopped fresh fruit (optional)

Mix well and use waffle maker to cook.  Makes about 8.


Pancakes

In ziploc bag combine these ingredients

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
4 Tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt


To make add

2 eggs
2 cups milk
4 Tbsp. oil

Then cook them up.



I also did rice mixes and you can get those recipes off of Hillbilly Housewife


Tomorrow I'm making biscuit mix, bread, pumpkin bread,  granola bars, and I think I'll try my hand at some yogurt.

Now you say you put them into ziploc bags but do you put those in the fridge? Where would you store the mixes til use?
And thanks fort he help on this! I so want to stop relying on the instant mixes because we are such a busy family. But mixes from the store have "extras" in them.

You have inspired me to make up some mixes!! It definitely would help the time factor when I am trying to do school with 4 this year. :)

It sounds like you have been busy! I go through phases where I love to freeze extra meals or prepare extra food too. I am busy filling my freezer with easy meals.

Found your blog while looking for info on clouds (love those search engines!) and saw this post. This is very informational! I am pretty much anti-storeboughtmixstuff but I haven't thought of doing this myself. Very convenient!! Thanks for sharing.
