Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
• Turbinado sugar for topping (optional)
• Fresh berries and mint for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with a non-stick spray.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Fold in the mixed berries, spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
6. Sprinkle tops with turbinado sugar if desired for a little extra crunch.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Garnish with fresh berries and a sprig of mint for a delightful presentation.

Helpful Tips

• If fresh berries aren’t available, frozen berries work just as well. No need to thaw them; fold them in frozen.
• Sour cream or Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute for buttermilk.
• For a healthier variation, whole wheat flour can replace half of the all-purpose flour.
• These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to a month.

Pairings

These mixed berry muffins are perfect when paired with a refreshing berry smoothie or a hot cup of tea. For a complete breakfast, serve with scrambled eggs and a side of turkey sausage.
