Red, White, and Blue Muffins (Quick, Not Homemade)

I love things that are homemade, but I also love shortcuts and convenience foods.  One thing that I love at breakfast time is a good muffin, and I must confess, I often go with muffin mixes to save time. Plus, I love the taste!

My favorite brand of muffin mixes has always been Martha White.  I think this is, in part, because you add milk to their mix, rather than water or oil. (or is it just me?)

They also have a great selection of flavors.  The flavor featured in my post today is the Wild Berry, and it's a mix of blueberry and strawberry flavors.

I chose to share these this week because 4th of July is coming up, and I thought these would be great for a 4th of July breakfast or brunch.  What do you think?

And if this idea is too simple for you, perhaps add a little cream cheese frosting to these and have some 4th of July Breakfast Cupcakes. Yum!  Or if you're not serving breakfast for the 4th, you could use the mix as a base for one of your 4th of July desserts!

I'm linking up at these parties.
