Are you a fan of Bisquick, this homemade Bisquick substitute works amazingly. The homemade baking mix can be used in place of Bisquick in recipes and uses all natural ingredients.
Switching over to a more natural, less processed diet can seem overwhelming at first. Most of us are pretty busy and don’t want to spend all day in the kitchen making healthy meals for our families.
Thankfully it doesn’t have to be that hard. Many recipes we already love can be easily adapted to be less processed. Baking mix is something a lot of quick recipes use. You can make everything from biscuits to pot pies with it. However, the ingredients in a store-bought baking mix are not always the best. And best of all this is homemade Bisquick without shortening.
However, it’s very easy to make your own homemade baking mix with natural ingredients. It only takes a few minutes and can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the fridge until you are ready to use it.
Lately, I’ve been using the homemade baking mix to make muffins which I freeze and we use for Saturday morning breakfast. They make for a nice weekend breakfast treat and with this mix, they are super simple to make.

Yay! Love how simple and easy this is to make! 😀 I’ll never have to buy baking mix again! :]

Right? The baking mix companies don’t want you to know just how easy it is. 🙂

How is it I have never seen a recipe calling for baking mix? Strange!
Lisa Sharp
May have seen “Bisquick” in the recipe instead. 🙂

Really great tips!

Thanks!

How timelessly lovely! This instantly makes me think of the kind of thing that our grandmas/great-grandmas would have gone through by the bucketful, so to speak.
Thank you for sharing your tasty, classic recipe with us.
Happy baking!

You’re welcome! And yes past generations would have thought it was strange that we buy something so easy to make pre-made. Of course companies want us to think they are saving us so much time and work. 😉
Thanks for stopping by!

I never buy baking mix because of the hydrogenated oil in them, so I’ve just avoided making any recipes that call for a baking mix. Your recipe looks easy though…and the recipe for the cheddar biscuits looks SO good! I’ll have to make those this fall to go with some soup or chili.

I just used a similar recipe to make pancakes yesterday, but I think I like yours better.
Thanks for sharing on Creative K Kids’ Tasty Tuesdays link up. Hope to see you back next week.
Lisa Sharp
I’d love to know what you think of this one compared to the other, if you use it. 🙂

What a wonderful idea! I need to make my own baking mix; it would make it so much easier for me to make a batch of biscuits or coat chicken, etc. if I already had some made up. Your post has been featured at the Get Your Shine On linky party and pinned to our features board. We hope you’ll join us again this week!

It is so nice and easy. I have a really wonderful recipe that will feature it coming up tomorrow, so be sure to stop back by. And thanks so much for featuring this post!

This looks promising. I tried a recipe for muffins, thawed & sweetened & drained the blueberries… I even put the crumb topping on after 10 minutes, as directed. OMG! They could’ve been hockey pucks! All that work & expense in the trash! SO, I have a new bag of frozen blueberries. Please tell me how & when to add them to the muffin recipe?
Lisa Sharp
What recipe was it? When you add them will depend on the recipe.

Could you use a food processor to mix with the cold butter?
Lisa Sharp
That should be fine. I just always do it the old-fashioned way.

This is exciting. I have a couple of favorite bisquick recipes but I live in the UK now and Bisquick is terribly expensive. One question, I happen to have a bag of self-rising flour, do you think I could use that in place of regular flour or no?
Lisa Sharp
I wouldn’t use self-rising flour. You maybe could if you adjusted the baking powder but I can’t give any advice for how much to reduce it.
Elaine Mejia
I just realized that it needed to be stored in the refrigerator! It’s been on my counter for a few weeks. Would I have to make a new batch? It’s been cold lately so maybe it’s okay?
Lisa Sharp
I would make a new batch. Some people are fine with butter at room temp but I’d say better safe than sorry.
