Have you gone to the store and looked at baking mixes recently? I have! A muffin mix is over 6 dollars, cake mix is over 4 and don’t even get me started on brownies.
Did you know you can make your own baking mixes for a fraction of the cost with amazing flavours and zero preservatives?
YOU control the ingredients and YOU can save serious money! If that sounds interesting, read on to find out more!
We have been on a journey to start making most of what we eat from scratch. We wanted something convenient and delicious that saved us money as well.
These baking mixes do just that. They are so easy and delicious!
I can’t wait for you to try it. I like to store these in a cool dark place and ensure all of them are airtight. If you are storing them for long term use, use a vacuum sealer to remove the excess air.
This post is all about baking mix recipes.

Materials needed:
- Mason jars to store your mixes. You can use other containers but I like that mason jars seal and store for a while. You can also gift them like this!
- Mason Jar Vacuum Sealer– so your recipes can store even longer!
Double Chocolate Muffin Baking Mix
Ingredients For the Dry Mix:
2.5 Cups of Flour
1 Cup Chocolate Chips
1 Cup of Brown Sugar
1/3 Cup Cocoa Powder
2 Tsp Baking Soda
1/2 Tsp Salt
Instructions:
Combine all of the dry ingredients in a bowl, mix well and then add to a 1 L (quart) jar. You can layer this if it is going to be a gift but I prefer to mix it all around since I double or triple batch it.
To Make:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and then combine 1 1/3 cups buttermilk (I used oat milk with 1 tsp lemon juice) 6 Tbsp butter melted, 2 eggs and 1 1/2 tsp vanilla into a bowl and mix thoroughly. Add the dry mix and stir until just combined, being careful to not over mix.
Spray or line 18 muffin containers and fill 3/4 of the way with batter. Bake in the oven for 16- 18 minutes or a toothpick comes out clean.
Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes and then flip them upside down on a cutting board or wire rack to finish cooling. They get super crispy this way! Enjoy!!
Better Than Boxed Brownie Mix
This is where I found the recipe!
Dry Mix Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups (249 grams) sugar
3/4 cup (75 grams) cocoa powder
1/2 cup (63 grams) all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and add to a 1 L (quart) jar.
To Make:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and spray an 8×8 pan. I use a round pan with good success as well. To a bowl, crack 2 eggs and 1 egg yolk, 1 tsp of vanilla, 5 tbsp of melted butter and 1/3 cup of oil. Mix well and then add the brownie mix. Stir to combine, and pour it into the baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes and then let it cool in the pan. This is best the next day but it is very delicious immediately as well. Enjoy!
