Print Recipe

A delicious and moist muffin recipe packed with a variety of fresh fruits that burst with flavor in every bite, finished with a crunchy sugar topping.

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 granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or milk with a splash of vinegar)
  • 1 cup mixed fresh fruits (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, diced 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). Line a standard muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the melted butter, vanilla extract, and buttermilk until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold together with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the mixed fresh fruits and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
  7. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure a light, fluffy texture.
  • If using frozen fruit, do not thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent color bleeding.
  • You can make your own buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
