Berries Muffins

This is an update post for one berries muffin recipe that I used to like a lot!

It is simple to make, and gives really moist and soft crumbs. Not to forget mentioning about the high tops this muffin recipe is going to give you! I sort of forgotten about this recipe because I seem to be always on the search for that elusive muffin recipe haha!

For this recipe, on the day of baking, you will get crusty tops and soft inside. The perfect muffin!

Enjoy these muffins freshly baked 🙂

If you leave it overnight, the tops of the muffins will soften and develop more flavor. I guess it might work if you’d pop the muffins into the oven for a few mins to try to get the crusty tops again.

Feel free to use a mix of your favourite berries – raspberries, blueberries, strawberries!

What Is Buttermilk?

Buttermilk is a dairy product similar to yogurt (cultured milk). It carries a tangy rich taste, and imparts flavor and richness to baked goods which uses this as part of the ingredients.

You can also use milk and vinegar for a quick substitute for buttermilk. You can see this in the recipe notes below.

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 210C. Place liners into muffin pan if desired.
  
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg till well combined.
  
• In another bowl, whisk together eggs and both sugar till combined. Whisk in milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Mixture will be pale and yellow.
• Make a well in the dry ingredients. Pour wet ingredients into the well and gently mix till there is no visible trace of flour. The batter will be thick and lumpy. Take note to not overmix.

• Bake at 210C degrees for 5 minutes. Keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce oven temperature to 190C and continue to bake for about 25 minutes until tops are lightly golden.
• A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Cool completely on wire rack. Store muffins at room temperature in an airtight container.
  

Notes

You can make buttermilk substitute by placing 1 tbsp white vinegar in measuring jug, then measure out 240ml of milk in the jug. Place at room temp for 5 mins. When it is ready, you should see some curdling.

 

These muffins freeze well, up to 3 months.
