Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup milk (use plant-based milk for vegan version)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter (use plant-based oil for vegan version)
  • 2 large eggs (or flax eggs for vegan version)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Main Flavor

  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups mixed berries (fresh or properly thawed frozen blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with milk, oil or butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-blended.
  4. Fold Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Add the Berries: Gently fold in the mixed berries, taking care not to crush them to prevent bleeding into the batter.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups and Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups and bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Let muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use fresh or properly thawed frozen berries that are dry and well-drained to prevent soggy muffins.
  • Do not overmix the batter; mix until just combined for fluffy, tender muffins.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for easier blending and smoother batter.
  • Coat berries lightly in flour before folding them in to help prevent sinking.
  • Check oven temperature with an oven thermometer to ensure correct baking.
