After the SOS cookies kit, here’s the SOS muffins kit! Still to be used in emergencies only, of course ^^ I love these little kits; they’re perfect for giving as gifts and making people happy! And it’s so simple to make, it would be a shame to miss out 🙂 Don’t forget to also give the paper cases (or you can pair the jar with little silicone moulds).
For those wondering, you’ll find 1L jars at the Swedish store, but I found cheaper ones in a little shop near my home, 1.35€ for a 950 ml jar.

The 1L Jar
Ingredients
- 250 g (8.8 oz) flour
- 1 packet baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- a pinch of vanilla powder (tip of a knife)
- 100 g (3.5 oz) light brown sugar
- 100 g (3.5 oz) nuts (pecans, hazelnuts, almonds, pink pralines, M&Ms…)
- 150 g (5.3 oz) chocolate (dark, milk, white or a mix)
Notes
1
You can of course change the kit’s contents to your liking — add some dried cranberries or other treats 🙂
What You Need to Do (to fill the jar)
Ingredients
- None
Preparation
1
Wash the jar with hot soapy water and dry it thoroughly.
2
Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and vanilla powder. Pour into the empty jar and pack it down firmly. Tap the jar on the counter to get a level surface.
3
Add the light brown sugar and pack it down.
4
Add the roughly chopped chocolate and spread it out evenly.
5
Finish with the roughly chopped nuts (if you toast them first, let them cool completely before adding).
6
Add 12 paper cupcake cases and seal the jar tightly.
The Labels
Ingredients
- None
Preparation
1
Next, you’ll need to make the labels. I made a round “SOS muffins” label for the top of the jar (adapted from something I found online) and a “Preparation for nut & three-chocolate muffins” label for the front, adapted from a template from the blog J’amène le dessert.

Instructions to attach to the jar:
3
Empty the contents of the jar into a bowl. Add 80 g (2.8 oz) of melted butter, 150 ml (5.1 fl oz) of milk and 2 eggs. Mix quickly and pour into the paper cases. Bake for 25 minutes at 180°C / 350°F.
4
All that’s left is to decorate the jar: a bit of raffia or curling ribbon, a pretty bow, some tissue paper and you’re done 🙂
