Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the almond milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the mixed berries and lemon zest gently, ensuring even distribution without crushing the berries.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
