Laura’s Success Tips
Before start baking, check out these tips for baking perfect mixed berry muffin batches:
Place the butter, eggs, and milk on the counter 30 minutes before cooking to help create a smooth batter. The mixed berries are the exception: you don’t need to thaw them before using them.
You want to mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients until just combined. The batter should be thick.
After 27-30 minutes or when the tops are golden, insert a toothpick in the center of the muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done and you have to remove them from the oven. If you bake them longer, they’ll dry out.
If you want to have these ready to bake in the morning, make the batter the night before, fill the muffin pan, and refrigerate.
