Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Saskatoon berries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg lightly. Stir in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Use a spatula to gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
Gently fold in the Saskatoon berries, taking care not to burst them while mixing.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar for added sweetness and texture, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your flavorful Saskatoon Berry Muffins!
