EASY BEER BREAD MUFFINS WITH BAKING MIX
A box of Bisquick may be known for quick and easy Pancakes and Biscuits, but this old school kitchen staple can do so much more! You can use this miracle baking mix for everything from pizza dough to cookies to these deliciously simple Beer Bread Muffins, ready in less than 30 minutes.
All you need for Easy Beer Bread Muffins is a box of Bisquick, a bottle of beer, sugar, salt, and butter. That’s it, just 5 ingredients for incredibly moist, slightly sweet, buttery muffins that will melt in your mouth. And if you are out of baking mix, there is a quick homemade substitution below. You can double the baking mix and store it in the refrigerator for months!
Unlike regular Beer Bread, for Beer Bread Muffins with baking mix, you want to use a mild flavored beer. A choppy IPA or strong stout will make your bread muffins bitter and overpower the delicate buttery flavor. A darker or heavier beer will also make your muffins chewier. If you use a mild beer like a pilsner or a light beer, your Beer Bread Muffins won’t taste like beer and will be light, sweet, and moist.
Beer Bread Muffins are so fast and easy to make, they are perfect with busy weeknight dinners like Beef Chili, Cheesy Taco Pasta or Baked Spaghetti. Serve them during the holidays instead of French Rolls or double the recipe for a potluck side dish. You can also eat them for breakfast with some more butter and Strawberry Jam or apple butter!
