Weekends were made for sleeping in and eating a homecooked breakfast. During the rest of the week, we rely on quick and easy breakfasts to get us through our mornings.

But just because it’s quick and easy doesn’t mean I can’t provide my family with a great breakfast. Full bellies fuel their brains and make sure everyone has a great start to the day.

Muffins have always been one of our favorite treats, and my Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins are at the top of our list.

But making muffins from scratch takes time, which I don’t always have.

These chocolate chip Bisquick muffins are practically dump-and-go, which is always doable! I can quickly prepare the mix and pop these Bisquick muffins in the oven while I get ready.

Less than 20 minutes later, I can enjoy a warm and filling breakfast before I leave the house, and the leftovers will make a great snack at the end of the day.

They’re one of the best things to make with pancake mix, if you ask me!

Tips to Make Bisquick Breakfast Muffins Even Easier

  • Don’t over-mix. The batter will have some lumps. That’s perfectly normal. Save yourself a few minutes and mix until the ingredients are just combined. Over-mixing can lead to tough muffins.
  • Skip the wrapper. Cupcake wrappers look pretty, but they aren’t necessary. Be sure to grease the muffin tin well and they will pop out easily.
  • Freeze leftover muffins. Not only are these muffins easy to prepare in a hurry, but they are also perfect for freezing. It’s so easy to make a double batch and pop the extras into freezer safe bags. They’ll keep in the freezer for about 3 months. Just set them on the counter for a few hours or reheat in the microwave and they’ll be ready to serve.
  • Freeze the batter. Did you know you can freeze muffin batter? For this, you’ll want to use cupcake wrappers. Place the wrappers in the muffin tin and fill according to the recipe. Stick the whole tin into the freezer for 2-3 hours or until the batter is frozen. Remove the tray and remove the paper cups with batter. Place them in a freezer safe bag in the freezer for up to 2 months. To bake, place them back into the muffin tin and bake as directed, adding a few additional minutes to the baking time.

    1. Chrysti Benner says:

      I’m so glad you enjoyed them, Anna! 🙂

  2. Dorothy Snell says:

    How long would you suggest to bake using mini muffin pans thank you

    1. Chrysti Benner says:

      Hi Dorothy! I’d guess they would probably take about 8-10 minutes–just watch them closely so they don’t burn. Enjoy! 🙂

  3. I added around 1/4 cup of smooth peanut butter and it turned out lovely. I’m going to experiment with adding butter to this and see if it adds to it. I would also recommend adding a teaspoon of salt it added a lot to a already lovely flavor.

    1. Chrysti Benner says:

      Thank you for sharing your tweaks, Pebble! I love the idea of adding peanut butter!

  4. Christine says:

    I used cinnamon applesauce instead of oil..I don’t know if it made a difference but they were good

    1. Chrysti Benner says:

      I’m so glad you enjoyed the muffins, Christine! And the applesauce was a nice way to make them a bit healthier–I bet the cinnamon added a nice touch, too! 🙂
