Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 cups buttermilk
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 cups mixed fresh or frozen berries (e.g., blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin well.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Gently fold in the mixed berries, ensuring they are evenly distributed without crushing them too much.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
If desired, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with coarse sugar for a sweet, crunchy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are best enjoyed within 2-3 days or can be frozen for up to 3 months.
