It’s a pantry staple for quick and fluffy stacks on Saturday mornings.
But this trusty baking mix is so much more versatile than you might expect, and it’s not just for breakfast treats.
I love using Bisquick in savory recipes, too, like this easy cheesy muffins recipe. You can even add herbs and spices or even diced jalapeno to customize the flavor.

Prepare the muffin batter. First, you’ll combine the all-purpose baking mix, melted butter, and egg.
Then add in the milk and and granulated sugar.
Using a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, mix until everything is well combined and a smooth batter forms.

Add the cheese. Next, you’ll add the shredded cheddar cheese and mix just until it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Bake the muffins. Last, you’ll spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each muffin cup about two-thirds full.
Bake the cheese muffins in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.

Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes, then serve them warm with a bit of butter, if desired.

Notes and Adaptations
- Leftover muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
- I recommend shredding your own cheese, if possible. It melts so much better than the bagged shreds, but those will certainly work in a pinch!
- These muffins are best served warm or reheated.
- Serve with honey butter for a hint of sweetness.

Great recipe! One complaint I have about internet recipes: just put the ingredients first. As you describe how to do it, it makes no sense until you get to the end. I faithfully use All Recipes for this reason, unfortunately, they are short on gluten free recipes. I would transfer my allegiance to the next gluten free website that does this.
Hi Alice! Thank you for your comment–I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe! I appreciate your feedback as well–that’s something I can look into updating! 🙂
