Foodstirs is a monthly baking subscription box. Every month, you’ll receive family-oriented baking kits made with premium and real ingredients, free of preservatives, artificial dyes, and flavors. The mixes use organic and non-GMO ingredients when available.

Your subscription will start with the kit indicated on the subscription information page!

The theme for February was Berry Sweet Pancake Muffin Kit. We knew this one would be a hit with the kids since they love pancakes. When the treats have a holiday theme, this subscription typically comes way in advance of the holiday, so you’ll have it not only in time to make for the holiday itself but also in time for pre-holiday parties if you like.

As always, Foodstirs provides organic mixes and contains no artificial ingredients.

DEAL: Pay only $4 (instead of $19.99) + $5.99 Shipping on your first month! Use coupon code  HELLO50 and Use this link to subscribe.

The box includes a card letting you know the ingredients needed, tools, baking time, quantity, etc.

I like that it breaks down the ingredients you need twice (the second time being what you need at home).  The kit includes all dry ingredients and decorative items — you supply eggs, butter, and other dairy when needed. When making Foodstirs, you’ll always want to have butter and plain Greek yogurt on hand, as these are almost always required.

The information card also has useful tips written on it – usually, there is a factoid and a couple of options for adding some extra flair or flavor to your creation.

The box includes complete nutritional and ingredients information. You will like the ingredients – never anything artificial, and the ingredients are primarily organic with only natural food dye. Nutrition information covers only what is provided in the kit – they don’t state the nutritional profile of the prepared food once you’ve added the required butter, eggs, yogurt, etc.

The instructions. They are step by step with a photo for each step.

Here’s everything that was in our box!

Most recipes include a mix for the main part of the treat and a second mix to prepare a frosting or topping, plus your decorative items. This kit included dried blueberries for the muffin mix and real, organic maple syrup for the glaze.

As an added bonus, our box included a four individual serving sample pack of Alpine Start instant coffee.

The kit made one dozen muffins. Some recipes make more batter than is required, but this one was just right.

The kids had a great time glazing the muffins. It really was a glaze, and the finished muffins tasted like a cross between blueberry pancakes and maple-glazed donuts.

We were amazed at how well the glazing went. It clung to the muffins and didn’t drip over the edges.

We followed the tip on the FoodStirs card, saving some of the blueberries for decoration.

The Muffin Bandit struck before icing was completed!

This was the perfect recipe for our resident blueberry pancake fanatic!

This was a very easy recipe to make, and there were no unusual steps or fussing in the recipe. I loved the use of a glaze in place of a frosting – it was much easier to make and apply, and it seemed more fitting for a muffin. Because we used glaze instead of frosting, this recipe wasn’t quite as dressed up as most FoodStirs projects are, as they usually involve some food dye and decorative icing. The flavor was great, and the muffins really did taste like pancakes! The kids really enjoyed these and had a great time helping make them.
