Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup mixed berries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk the vegetable oil, eggs, and milk together until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredient mixture into it. Gently fold the ingredients together using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Carefully fold in the mixed berries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Always use room temperature eggs and milk for smoother batter integration
- Don't overmix your batter - lumpy is good! Overmixing leads to tough, dense muffins
- Use fresh, seasonal mixed berries for the most vibrant flavor
- Check muffins a minute before recommended baking time to prevent overcooking
- For extra indulgence, sprinkle some raw sugar on top before baking for a crispy, sweet crust
- If using frozen berries, don't thaw them - add directly to the batter to prevent color bleeding
- Let muffins cool slightly in the tin to help them set and prevent crumbling
