We’re breaking down this NEW Trader Joe’s Blueberry Muffin Mix. Below you’ll find our honest review and the slight modifications that you may incorporate to elevate this breakfast treat.

What’s inside Trader Joe’s Blueberry Muffin Mix

This muffin mix comes with two packages inside, the dried blueberries and the muffin mix base. You’ll additionally need butter, eggs and milk. When baking at 400F for 20 minutes they were crunchy on top and cooked throughout. Just be extra careful at the end of cooking time as these can burn quickly. Preferably, you may reduce the heat to 350F and cook for 30 minutes resulting is a muffin that comes out a bit more moist.

Trader Joe’s Blueberry Muffin Mix Review

This is a wonderful base to a homemade breakfast treat or snack. I would not recommend making the mix “as is” and expecting to be wowed. Trader joe’s blueberry muffin mix was lacking a bit of flavor and texture. By adding a few extra ingredients we transformed the recipe into a crowd pleasing muffin.

What to add to the Blueberry Muffin Mix

Let’s be honest, this mix needs a little something. By adding these ingredients listed below you’ll enhance TJ’s blueberry muffin mix. In our opinion the lemon zest and extra blueberries are a must! Adding the streusel topping would be an extra treat, but is not necessary.
