Simple Pie Iron Muffins

Time: 12 minutes

Skill: Easy

Makes: Depends on the mix, mine made 3 pie iron muffins

Equipment Needed:

• 1 (or more) Pie Irons
• Measuring Cup or Bowl To Mix In
• Fork
• Board (or something else to set iron-on as it will be really hot)

Ingredients:

• Muffin Mix
• 1/2 Cup Water (read package directions)
• Non-Stick Spray (I used canola)
• butter (optional)

Directions:

Step 1: Get a good fire going.

Step 2: Mix muffin mix and water in cup or bowl and allow to sit for 2-3 minutes.

Step 3: Heat pie iron over the fire. It only needs to heat for about 30 seconds on each side.

Step 4: Set iron on board and lightly spray with non-stick spray. Spray inside of both sides.

Step 5: Pour muffin batter in half the pie iron. You only want to fill it about halfway using about 1/3 of the batter.

Step 6: Snap the iron together and hold it over the edge of the fire pit not right over the flames.

Step 7: Cook on the first side for 3 minutes. Then flip and cook for 3 minutes on the other side. Flip one more time and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 8: Remove from fire and place the iron on board to open (careful because it is really hot) to flip the muffin out on a plate.

The final product – a delicious and easy camping breakfast treat!

Once you’ve popped your muffin out of the pie iron, I like to slather it with some butter.

If you don’t want to use a pie iron, that’s okay! You can make the muffin batter and just cook them in your skillet or on the grill like regular pancakes. But I personally find it much easier with the pie iron. Plus, using a pie iron is just fun!

What to Serve with Berry Pie Iron Muffins

You’ll definitely want to serve these Berry Pie Iron Muffins with a side of bacon or sausage. In fact, I like to cook the bacon and put it in a paper towel for my kids so they can have some while waiting on their muffins!

Fried eggs are also a great addition and so easy to cook over a campfire. And if you’re looking for another easy camping breakfast recipe idea, try our Camping Breakfast Burritos Recipe.

Tips on Storing Leftovers

You’ll want to store the leftover Berry Pie Iron Muffins in an airtight container or in a zip top baggie. They will keep for up to three or four days, though they’re best eaten within a couple of days.

How to Reheat Berry Pie Iron Muffins

If you want to reheat your muffins on your camp out, you can wrap them in some tin foil with a pat of butter and let them warm up near the edge of the campfire.

Once you get home, if you have leftovers, just reheat in the microwave for about 10 or 15 seconds.

Tips for Using a  Pie Iron

1. Season your pie iron well to prevent food from sticking to it.
2. If you’re pie iron isn’t well seasoned, you may have a problem with food sticking to it. To make sure the pie iron doesn’t stick, you can use two pieces of aluminum foil to line each side. Spray with cooking spray.
3. If your muffin is getting stuck in the middle and not coming out cleanly, try rotating it a quarter turn before taking off the top piece of bread on one side to release it.
