Ingredients

  • 1 c strawberries, chopped
  • ¾ c blueberries
  • ¾ c blackberries
  • ¾ c sugar
  • ½ c milk
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • c vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 c AP flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp freeze dried blueberries, crushed optional
  • 2 tbsp freeze dried strawberries, crushed optional

Instructions

Preheat Oven to 375°F and line a 12 count muffin tray.

    Prep Ingredients:

    • Mash half of the strawberries into a large bowl (to be mixed into the batter). Combine remaining 1/2 c strawberries with all blueberries and blackberries in a separate medium bowl.
    • Toss the triple berry mixture with a little of the flour. Set aside.
    • In a separate small bowl, whisk together remaining flour, crushed dried berries (if using), baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

    Make the Muffins:

    • In the large bowl with the mashed strawberries, add in sugar, milk, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla. Whisk to combine.
    • Stir the flour mixture into the batter until just combined.
    • Gently fold the triple berry mixture into the batter.
    • Scoop batter into lined muffins trays to nearly fill. Top with decorator's sugar and/or extra berries, if desired.
    • Bake on 375°F for 23-28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, edges are lightly browned and tops spring back when pressed. For jumbo/oversized muffins, add 2-3 minutes to bake time.
    • Let rest in muffin tray for 5 minutes then remove to cooling rack. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days. May be frozen for up to 1 month.

    Notes

    • Freeze dried berries can often be found in the granola/nut aisle
    • Freeze dried berries add extra flavor without adding weight. These muffins can still be made and are still delicious with only the fresh fruit, though!
    For vegan adaptations:
    Substitute 1 mashed banana for the 2 eggs. Use oat milk or almond milk for regular milk.
