Berry Muffins – tender and moist packets filled with raspberries and blueberries. These muffins make a decadent breakfast treat or a wonderful afternoon pick-me-up. They are so yummy you could even serve these with ice cream for a casual dessert. So what ever time you decide to have one of these you will be smitten with the burst of berry flavour.
The batter comes together quickly in a bowl and like most muffin recipes, no electricity required! Melt the butter in the microwave and let is come to room temperature. When you do whisk the wet ingredients together it will resemble curdled milk but that is fine, it will all work out. When folding the berries in, add them just before all of the flour is incorporated so that the berries won’t all be broken up. Fresh berries work best in this recipe, but you can use frozen blueberries, just toss them with a teaspoon of flour first before you add them to the batter.
