SPRING BERRY MUFFINS



Spring Berry Muffins image

I altered this recipe from an old 1950s cookbook called "A world of breads" by Dolores Casella. I make 18 large muffins with the batter and bake for an extra 5 or so minutes until they look a little crispy. The spices really stand out with the berries -- I eat these with butter and blackberry jam... delicious! Note: The original recipe called for 3 eggs and no oil, so I assume you could substitute either an egg or 1/4 cup applesauce for the oil in the recipe. Also, don't cut back the sugar!!! The sweetness in these is perfect.

1 1/2-2 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen, thawed and drained)

1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup light brown sugar

Tips:

  • Use fresh, quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your muffins.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will prevent the muffins from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins at the correct temperature. If the oven is too hot, the muffins will brown too quickly and be undercooked in the center. If the oven is too cool, the muffins will take too long to bake and be dry.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before frosting or serving. This will help the frosting to set properly and the muffins to hold their shape.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you're sure to bake delicious spring muffins that will be a hit with your family and friends. So get creative and experiment with different flavors and ingredients. The possibilities are endless!
