Quick Mix Muffins

I was given Make a Mix Cookery by Karine Eliason, Nevada Harward, and Madline Westover. It is a cookbook filled with recipes for bulk mixes.  I love it!  I made up their Quick Mix recipe (follows) and enjoy using it to make muffins.  You can add whatever ingredients for flavoring it, such as lemon and poppyseed.  I've also used craisins.  I am sure blueberries, strawberries, chocolate chips and more would also taste great!  I store the quick mix in my pantry and it is good for 3 months.  Perfect easy treat to make!
