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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin well.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Gently fold in the mixed berries, ensuring they are evenly distributed without crushing them too much.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with coarse sugar for a sweet, crunchy topping.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are best enjoyed within 2-3 days or can be frozen for up to 3 months.
