Description

Not too sweet, fluffy yet dense, and topped with crunchy sugar. These Mixed Berry Muffins are a house favorite!

Ingredients

Units Scale

Mixed Berry Muffins:

  • 3/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 plain whole milk yogurt
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon fine kosher salt (I use Diamond Crystal)
  • 2 cups frozen mixed berries (I use the three berry blend from Costco)
  • 1/2 cup turbinado sugar for topping

Instructions

  1. Mix the wet ingredients. Add in the dry ingredients.

  2. Thaw the berries. Microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until soft. Drain in a fine mesh strainer and rinse with cold water. They’re going to get a little bit smooshed – that’s fine.

  3. Gently fold the berries into the batter – just a few stirs! Some of the berries will lightly melt into the batter, but some should stay somewhat intact.

  4. Distribute the batter in a prepared muffin tin – I usually get 9-10 full muffin cups, and I prefer these without muffin tin liners. Fill them right to the top for big domed tops. Top each cup with a pinch of turbinado sugar.

  5. Bake for 13-15 minutes; remove from oven and cool slightly (although I think these are best served warm). You’re done! So good!

Notes

If you want to add a bit of honey butter (which I think you might!) – mix 1/4 cup honey with 1/4 cup softened butter. I use salted butter, always. When it’s mostly smooth, spread onto every bite of muffin and enjoy your life.

If you don’t have coconut oil, you can use butter or canola oil! 

If you’re dairy free, you can use dairy free yogurt. I’ve also made these without the yogurt – they’re a bit denser but still work out really nicely. 

As written, these are not overly sweet and that’s by design! If you’d like a sweeter muffin, it should work fine to add a bit more sugar.

I like these best served warm right out of the oven. The tops especially are a delight to break apart.
