Mixed Berry Muffins

Moist and fluffy, these healthy mixed berry muffins are a delicious breakfast or snack the whole family will love!

Muffins are one of my favourite things to bake. Not only can they be adapted to the seasons, but there are so many different ways to make a classic muffin recipe a little bit healthier. In fact, everything from the flour to the sweetener and the oil used in the recipe can be changed or adapted to make (what can be) an indulgent treat just a little bit lighter and more real food-based. For this particular mixed berry muffin recipe, I opted to add rolled oats for some additional fibre, use brown sugar (and less of it) as opposed to refined white sugar, olive oil instead of vegetable oil, and added some plain yogurt to help keep the muffins moist and add a little boost of protein at the same time. Although this recipe calls for plain yogurt, you could certainly use Greek yogurt if you prefer, which would help to increase the overall protein content of the muffins.

To make these mixed berry muffins I used a combination of fresh strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, however, you could truly use any combination of fresh berries you enjoy (blackberries would be great!) and frozen berries would work equally well. Regardless of what combination you choose, these healthy mixed berry muffins are so golden, fluffy and delicious, nobody will even notice how good they are for you.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 1 3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 1/2 cup mixed berries, fresh or frozen

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and grease a muffin tin lightly with oil.
2. In a large bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients: flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and stir until well combined.
3. In a separate medium bowl, combine all of the wet ingredients and sugar; olive oil, yogurt, milk, eggs, vanilla and brown sugar, and whisk to combine.
4. Transfer the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk well until the batter is smooth and there are no lumps. (If you used Greek yogurt you may need to add a bit more milk to help loosen up the batter.)
5. Add the berries and gently fold them into the batter.
6. Divide the batter evenly across the muffins cups and transfer the muffin tin to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
7. Once baked, allow to cool slightly, then transfer the muffins to a cooling rack and allow to cool to room temperature.
8. The muffins can be served immediately, stored at room temperature for 3 days, in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
