Baking Mixes save time by eliminating some steps to your cooking. My favorite mixes are useful in lots of different applications, just like this one.
I made a little video to show you how easy this is to put together. If you have 4 minutes, you can do this. Here’s what you’ll need:
a 5 lb bag of flour
2 1/2 cups of dry milk
3/4 cup baking powder
2 Tbs salt
30 oz of coconut oil (Use the LouAna brand if you don’t want your mix to have a coconut flavor.)
Mix your dry ingredients together, stirring for 1 minute. Make sure all the lumps are gone. Then cut in the coconut oil until the mixture particles are the size of small peas. Store with an air tight seal. If you use whole wheat flour, store in the fridge.
The Missouri Extension Center has some easy recipes that use this mix.

What a great idea to use coconut oil in place of the Crisco. I love the convenience of Bisquick but won’t buy it anymore because of the shortening.
Should I keep this mix in the fridge during the warmer months since coconut oil has such a low melting point?
Dawn, The fridge would be a good idea if your house is very warm.
Can you replace the flour with Almond flour?
Almond flour wouldn’t work alone because there wouldn’t be anything to hold your dough together. You might be able to use a gluten free all purpose flour that contains xanthan gum. The gum would help do part of the work that the gluten in wheat flour would do. If your goal is low carb, I recommend a baking mix with the Trim Healthy Mama baking blend.
