Master Mix For Muffins

So sorry for the long space in between posts here.  I had a wee bit of a bad spell but after a gazzillian tests I finally did get a diagnosis. Dx. 1:  Fibromyalgia.   Dx. 2: Hashimoto Disease.  Several of the symptoms over lap so it's sort of a double whammy.  Hashimoto Disease is an autoimmune disease, no cure but there is treatment.  The Fibro, well I guess I will just have to suck up the pain since I can not take NSAIDS because of the Lap Band.   Tramadol did help but after a couple weeks I had a pretty nasty reaction to it so that's the end of that. I take a conservative amount of Morphine Sulfate & Oxycodone  twice a day for back pain but Opioids do not address  Fibro pain. *sigh*.  Anyways....


Here is an awesome, frugal,  time saving (for those of us who do daily battle with fatigue) recipe.

Master Mix For Muffins

Makes enough for about 6 muffin recipes.

12 cups flour
4 T. baking powder
1 T. baking soda
2 tsp. salt
4 1/2 cups sugar

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda & salt, mixing throughly with a wire whisk, making sure to break up any flour lumps.  Add sugar & continue to mix throughly until evenly combined.

Store mix in a tightly covered container in a cool, dry place ( I use an old huge, restaurant sized pickle jar).

Before using, be sure to give the Master Mix a good stir as ingredients of different particle size & weight may settle at different levels over time.  The Master Mix will keep for 3-4 months.

Here are a couple examples of muffins made with the Master Mix:

CORN BREAD MUFFINS:

2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup honey
2 cups of Master Mix
1 cup yellow cornmeal

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a large mixing bowel, mix eggs, buttermilk, veg. oil & honey until throughly combined.

Add Master Mix & cornmeal & stir until just combined

Spoon Batter into greased or paper lined muffin cups. Bake for 16-20 min or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

ZUCCHINI-WALNUT MUFFINS

1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 cup grated zucchini
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup milk
2 3/4 cups Master Mix

Just ask & I will happy to post it if I have it.
