personally, and I say this as a baker, I am against mixes of any sort because invariably they have bad stuff in them and they never taste as good as things made from scratch. There are, although I've never sought them out, relatively "healthier" mixes, however I've never heard about them being commercially available from a bakery supply place...not sure about what costco or other cash & carry places might have available either.

Since you are already willing to make a time investment in baking the muffins, have you ever considered making your own "mixes". You could spend an hour or so mixing all the dry ingredients into containers, where you'd only have to add liquid like eggs or such??? Also, with most mixes, you never just add water anyhow, so after the initial time spent making the "mixes" you're essentially looking at the same thing. Your mixed up batter will usually keep 3-4 days so all you have to do each day is scoop and bake. However, you will likely have to consider storage of your ingredients which might be an issue.

The larger question to consider is are you considering this switch because wholesale baked goods are too expensive or generate too much waste. Remember that labor is probably your most expensive ingredient. Think about how much time you will spend or pay someone to spend that will distract them from being able to sell more coffee. There will still be waste.

Good luck.
