Very Berry Muffins

I had a bag of frozen berries in the freezer that I used for these. They had strawberries in them, and I took them out to save for a smoothie. I thought these muffins were very easy to make and the variety of berries made them extra yummy!

Very Berry Muffins

2 1/2 cups flour

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

1 cup buttermilk or soured milk

1/4 cup butter, melted

1 1/2 cup berries (I used frozen)

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 12 cup muffin tin with Pam.

In a bowl whisk all the dry ingredients. In another bowl whisk the milk, eggs and melted butter.

Add the berries to the dry ingredients and toss, covering them with the flour mixture. Mix in the wet ingredients just until they come together. Scoop into muffin tins with a 1/4 cup ice cream scoop. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Cool 5 minutes.

From Coffee Cake To Muffins!

I was thinking the other day that there isn’t a lot of difference between my coffee cake recipe and a muffin recipe, so I thought I would give it a try! They didn’t turn out with the domed top like some muffins do, but they did taste really good! I just scooped the batter into a 12 cup muffin tin I sprayed with Pam, then I baked it just like the coffee cake. I was in a hurry, so I didn’t do the glaze.
