How to Make the Recipe

- In a large bowl, combine the pancake mix and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and oil.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it along with the blueberries. Then mix with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
- Pour the muffin batter into a muffin tin, filling each well 2/3 of the way up.
- Place the muffin pan in the oven for 15-18 minutes, or until cooked through. The muffins are done when a toothpick can be inserted into the center and come out cleanly.
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are some helpful suggestions to ensure your muffins turn out perfectly:
- Don’t over-mix the batter; it’s okay if there are a few lumps!
- Feel free to experiment with different mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits for a fun twist.
- If you want to make a larger batch, consider using sheet pan muffins for easy baking.
- For a touch of sweetness, sprinkle a little sugar on top of the muffins before baking.

These muffins are delicious on their own, but you can elevate them even further! Here are some serving suggestions:
- Serve warm with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey.
