• Includes a can of real wild blueberries in each box
• Has an alternate recipe and suggestions for mix-ins
• No artificial flavors or colors
  

• One small extra step of draining and rinsing the blueberries
  

Nothing is more satisfying than a fluffy blueberry muffin. This mix comes with real, canned wild blueberries to add more flavor to this treat. Simply drain and rinse them, and add to the mix with oil, water, and eggs.

There were a few reviewers who said the mix was a bit sticky, but the soft, moist texture of the muffins was a hit for the vast majority. Some reviewers liked to add a crumb topping, and they say these are really quick to make.

Pros:

• Has both muffin and bread recipes
• Comes with lemon glaze packet included

Cons:

• There are no ideas for add-ins or variations on the box, according to reviewers
  

With this mix, you can easily bake a dozen lemon poppy seed muffins. It even comes with a pouch of lemon glaze to drizzle on top. Muffins will be ready in under 30 minutes, or bake bread in about an hour including cooling time.

Some buyers noted that the glaze was rather sugary and suggested using only half of the pouch to cut down on the sweetness. But according to many reviewers, this mix is a must-have with its airy texture and tasty flavor. Many recommend trying it baked as a bread or cake.

Pros:

• Only required ingredient is milk
• Good source of calcium and five vitamins
• Also makes pancakes

Cons:

Sometimes a simple toasty, hearty muffin is the best. Just add milk to easily whip up and enjoy a batch of bran muffins, sweetened with the flavor of honey, with the added nutritional benefits of calcium, iron, and vitamins such as vitamin B.

Some reviewers found these muffins bland. However, many reviewers thought they were flavorful and delicious with the perfect amount of sweetness. They also enjoyed adding ingredients like nuts, vanilla, raisins, and chocolate chips.

A few people complained that the chocolate one was tricky to make and a bit bland. Nonetheless, most reviewers found these mixes to be scrumptious, with a sweetness that was just right.

If you're a serious chocoholic, you don't want to miss this chocolate muffin mix! It's absolutely chock-full of milk chocolate chunks and chocolate chips. To top off the good news, this mix contains no high fructose corn syrup, no preservatives, and has zero grams of trans fat.

Some people noticed that the texture was a bit dry, and they ended up with crumbs as well. Nevertheless, for many others, the taste of this chocolate muffin mix was heavenly. The chocolate flavor truly stood out, and the sweetness was fairly balanced.

Pros:

• Uses real orange peels and cranberries
• No artificial flavors or colors
• Includes other recipe suggestions

Cons:

Sometimes a really fruity muffin just hits the spot, especially paired with tea. This muffin mix has a can of real cranberries and orange zest. Just add it into the mix after the water, oil and eggs, and bake a batch of muffins or bread.

Even with the fruit, though, some reviewers felt that the mix lacked a bit of flavor for their taste. However, most people thought the zest was just right and loved the texture of the muffins. Reviewers were happy to report these muffins as their new go-to breakfast food.

• Makes corn muffins or cornbread
  
• Does not contain trans fat
• Decent yield relative to mix amount

Cons:

These corn muffins are a well-known staple to go along with your barbecue or chili. Add a bit of butter for a richer taste, or try drizzling some honey on top. You can even mix in cheese, canned corn, or bacon bits! One box makes six to eight muffins or an eight-inch square cornbread loaf.

Some people found the muffins to be dry, but for many reviewers, this corn muffin mix is their all-time favorite. This mix has been used by families for so long that many have their own twist on this recipe! 

Pros:

• Certified gluten-free
• Comes with instructions for a non-dairy version

Cons:

• Although the box shows blueberry muffins, this is a plain mix; some reviewers were disappointed
  

This mix encourages you to add in your favorite ingredients to make these muffins perfect for you. The flour blend is enriched with vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin B and iron, to give you nutritional benefits. The only flavor comes from the flours, sugar and a bit of nutmeg.

Whether baked as is or with add-ins, this muffin mix was a go-to for many reviewers! While some people expected the mix to already be flavored, most reviewers loved experimenting and adding their own favorite ingredients, and were happy with the thickness and fluffy texture of the muffins.

Pros:

• Keto-friendly
• No added sugar
• 13 grams of fiber per muffin
  

Cons:

• Baking may be tricky, according to reviews
  

One of these muffins contains around 13 grams of fiber and just 1.8 grams of net carbs, all wrapped up in a banana caramel flavor. Plus, there's no added sugar; the sweetness is derived from a blend of monk fruit, erythritol, and coconut.

Some people weren't happy with the finished product since their muffins collapsed when they came out of the oven. Most buyers agreed, though, that the muffins were incredibly moist and full of flavor. They recommend adding in some walnuts, but go easy with chocolate chips. They say this mix is fairly sweet already.

• Ready to eat in 60 seconds
• Only requires water or milk
• Contains 10 grams of protein
• Uses whole grain wheat and oats
  

Cons:

• Reviewers report using an inaccurate water amount can ruin muffins

This muffin cup from Kodiak Cakes couldn't be easier to prepare. The cup is filled with ingredients to make one muffin, so you only have to pour in water or milk and pop it in the microwave for about 60 seconds. And it has 10 grams of protein from whole grains and almonds.

Some report that if you were not accurate with the amount of water added in, the muffin could end up either too dry or too spongy. Some reviewers were skeptical of this process, but were ultimately surprised by the muffin's fluffiness and delicious taste. Many were glad to have found such a quick and convenient muffin to start off their day!
