Mixed Berry Muffins
I love a good muffin recipe but I definitely have some high expectations on what constitutes a good muffin. They have to be flavorful, have lots of berries, and absolutely cannot be dry. It seems like muffins are part of two camps…there are big, dense bakery style muffins, and there are lighter, fluffier type muffins. This muffin recipe is the latter. Super light and airy.
I have made many muffin recipes but I was really looking for the perfect one and I have finally found it. This muffin recipes produces the most delicious muffin, but even more important, it is a really easy recipe! My daughter helped me mix these mixed berry muffins up quickly!
Can you freeze blueberry muffins?
I like to eat these muffins fresh out of the oven best, but you can also seal them in an airtight container for 3 days or freeze for up to one month. A quick 15 seconds in the microwave really freshen these up if you are not eating the same day as they were baked.
Can you use frozen berries to make blueberry muffins?
It is nearly berry season and I can not wait! While you could use frozen berries in this recipe, I definitely prefer to use fresh. Frozen fruit can get soggy and may not be as sweet as fresh blueberries and strawberries.
