A delicious and vibrant muffin recipe packed with a variety of fresh fruits that burst with flavor in every bite, featuring a soft crumb and a hint of cinnamon.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup mixed fresh fruits (blueberries, raspberries, diced strawberries, chopped apples)
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • 1/4 cup coarse sugar for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the buttermilk to the wet mixture, mixing until well combined.
  6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
  7. Carefully fold in the mixed fresh fruits and optional nuts until evenly distributed.
  8. Scoop the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full, and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
  9. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and tops are golden.
  10. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter after adding flour to ensure a tender texture.
  • You can use frozen berries, but do not thaw them first to prevent the batter from turning purple.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
