Quick and easy muffins with a tender crumb, subtly flavored with Miracle Whip and sugar, perfect for a fast breakfast or snack that everyone will enjoy.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Combine self-rising flour, milk, Miracle Whip, and sugar in a bowl.
- Stir until well blended, with some small lumps remaining.
- Spoon batter into 6 large muffin cups coated with non-stick cooking spray.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) until muffins are risen and golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use fresh self-rising flour to ensure a good rise. If you don't have Miracle Whip, mayonnaise can be used as a substitute for a similar texture and flavor. You can also add chopped vegetables or cheese to the batter for extra flavor. Make sure not to overmix, as this can lead to dense muffins.
Serving Suggestions
These Quick Supper Muffins are perfect for a light dinner or brunch. Serve them alongside a fresh salad or a bowl of soup for a complete meal. They also pair beautifully with Aunt Rosie'S Apple Cake for dessert. Enjoy them warm for the best taste, or slather with butter or your favorite spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, pop them in a microwave for about 15-20 seconds or warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour, but be sure to add baking powder and salt to mimic the self-rising effect. Use 1 cup of whole wheat flour along with 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. This will help maintain the texture and rise of the muffins.
How can I make these muffins sweeter?
If you prefer a sweeter muffin, you can increase the sugar to 2 tablespoons or add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the batter. Additionally, consider incorporating chocolate chips or dried fruits for added sweetness and texture.
What can I add to the muffins for extra flavor?
You can enhance the flavor by adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg, or include ingredients like shredded cheese, cooked bacon, or chopped herbs. These additions can turn your muffins into a more savory treat, perfect for any meal.
