Ingredients
  

For the Muffins
  • ½ cup butter Adds richness and moisture; feel free to use unsalted butter to control the saltiness.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Provides sweetness and helps create a tender crumb; replace with coconut sugar for a healthier option.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances flavor depth; opt for pure vanilla for a richer profile.
  • 2 pieces eggs Provides structure and moisture; substitute with flax eggs for a vegan alternative.
  • 1 cup buttermilk or milk Contributes to tenderness and flavor; almond milk works well as a plant-based substitute.
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour Acts as the base for structure; whole wheat flour can be used for a heartier muffin.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder Leavening agent for rise; ensure it's fresh for optimal puffiness.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Works with acidic buttermilk for lift.
  • ½ teaspoon salt Balances sweetness and enhances overall flavor.
  • 1 ½ cups frozen mixed berries Adds flavor and moisture; do not thaw, use straight from the freezer for best results.
  • sparkling sugar Optional; adds an extra crunch and sweetness to the muffin tops.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition. Then, pour in the buttermilk and mix until creamy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a spatula, stirring until barely combined.
  6. Fold in the frozen mixed berries gently, ensuring even distribution.
  7. Fill each muffin cup with about 6 tablespoons of batter, nearly to the top.
  8. If desired, sprinkle sparkling sugar on top of each muffin.
  9. Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F, then reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes.
  10. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
