Mixed Berry Muffins Recipe:
These triple berry muffins are made with Greek yogurt which makes them healthier with the added protein. If you don’t have Greek yogurt, sour cream will work equally well. Either way, the muffins turn out soft, fluffy, moist and tasty.
Can I use Frozen Berries for Muffins?
Fresh berries are ideal and if you can only find 1 type of berry, you can use 1 1/2 cups of a single berry i.e. strawberry muffins or raspberry muffins. When berries are out of season, unavailable or way too expensive, you can substitute frozen mixed berries (no need to thaw). Here’s a tip I picked up from The Kitchn on baking with berries:
Roll Frozen berries lightly in a small bowl of flour and add them to the batter. Fold frozen berries into the batter just enough to incorporate and stop mixing when you start seeing streaks of color. Over-mixing with frozen berries will cause your muffins to be greenish-blue or pink.
Why do berries sink to the bottom of muffins?
Berries will sink in muffins or cakes due to loose batter. They can also sink if using too many berries as the weight will pull them down. If you’re questioning if you can add fruit to a cake batter and the batter is too thin, it’s probably a bad idea. The batter in this recipe is thick so berries will stay evenly distributed without sinking to the bottom.
