Ingredients You’ll Need
- 2 cups biscuit baking mix (Bisquick): The key ingredient that makes these muffins so easy and quick to make.
- ¼ stick butter, melted: The melted butter adds a rich and buttery flavor to the muffins.
- ¼ cup milk or buttermilk: The milk or buttermilk adds moisture to the batter and keeps the muffins light and fluffy.
- 1 cup sour cream: The sour cream not only adds moisture to the batter but also helps create the muffins’ tangy flavor.

How To Make Bisquick Sour Cream Muffins
- Preheat the oven to 425℉ (220℃) F.
- Add the biscuit baking mix, melted butter, milk, and sour cream to a mixing bowl.
- Stir to combine the ingredients. Do not overmix.
- Transfer the batter into greased or baking paper-lined muffin cups, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving.

5 Expert Tips and Tricks for The BEST Muffins
- Use room temperature ingredients: Make sure your butter, milk, and sour cream are at room temperature before mixing them into the batter. This will help the ingredients blend more evenly.
- Don’t overmix the batter: Overmixing muffin batter can lead to tough, chewy muffins. Mix the batter until just combined to keep the muffins light and tender.
- Use a cookie scoop or ice cream scoop to portion the batter: Not only does this make portioning the batter more uniform, but it also helps to prevent spills and messes when filling the muffin cups.
- Try different mix-ins: Feel free to experiment with adding chocolate chips, blueberries, or nuts to the muffin batter to give them an extra burst of flavor.
- Store leftovers properly: If you have any leftover muffins, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days.

Recipe Variations
- Blueberry Muffins: Fold 1 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter before baking.
- Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins: Add 1 tablespoon of lemon zest and 1 tablespoon of poppy seeds to the batter before baking.
- Cinnamon Sugar Muffins: Mix together 1/4 cup of melted butter, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. Brush the mixture over the tops of the muffins once they come out of the oven.
- Chocolate Chip Muffins: Fold 1 cup of chocolate chips into the batter before baking.
- Banana Nut Muffins: Fold in 1 mashed ripe banana and 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds) into the batter before baking.
Substitutions
- Buttermilk: If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can substitute an equal amount of regular milk.
- Sour Cream: Greek yogurt or whole milk yogurt can be substituted for the sour cream.
- Biscuit Mix: If you don’t have Bisquick on hand, you can make your own by combining 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Storing, Freezing, and Reheating
- Storing: Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days.
