Almost Homemade …

by Stacy on February 17, 2010

I’ve been making an effort this year to feed my family less packaged and processed foods [fun new recipes and how-tos coming soon], BUT in an effort to transition our lifestyle in the most frugal way possible, I have been slowly phasing out our existing stock of pantry items.

I made this version of Blueberry Muffins with a Semi-Streusel with the kids this morning and they were such a hit, I just had to share them with you. When I finally perfect my healthy, homemade version, I’ll post an update for everyone. In the meantime, enjoy this super simple version you can have on the table in just 20 minutes.

You’ll Need:

Betty Crocker Blueberry Muffins

x2 (makes 12)

+

YoPlus Blueberry Acai YogurtX1

- Follow Muffin Mix Directions on package, add in a carton of YoPlus+ [We LOVE the strawberry kind too] Blueberry Acai yogurt

- Pour batter into Muffin Tin

To make the Streusel Topping: Mix 1/3 cup of oats, with 2-3 spoonfuls of brown sugar, sprinkle in some cinnamon sugar to taste. Then sprinkle this topping on each of the muffins

Bake for 17-21 minutes (whatever the package dictates), mine were perfect after 18 minutes.

And enjoy!! These babies are tasty enough to fool guests and in-laws and hit the spot on a weekend morning when you want to surprise the family with something a little special.

Almost homemade is practically the same as homemade to me. If it’s delicious and hits the spot then it’s always welcome :)

I never thought about adding yogurt to a mix like this but I remember from looking for cake recipes that adding yogurt is an excellent way to make the cake more moist. In this case, you’re adding extra flavor too. I’ll try it. Thanks.

These muffins look great! Great idea adding the yogurt to the mix. Look forward to seeing more recipes!

Also, if you cut the bottom of the Betty Crocker bag to open it, you can reuse the plastic and sew it like material (think cute bags, etc.) My mom does this with pastry mix bags and Capri Suns!

(I also just posted Betty Crocker coupons on my blog!)
