Equipment

  • Oven
  • muffin tin
  • microwave
  • whisk
  • Fine mesh strainer
  • measuring cups
  • Measuring Spoons

Ingredients
  

Berry Muffins

  • ¾ cup coconut oil, melted use refined for no coconut taste
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 cups flour (280 grams)
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon fine kosher salt such as Diamond Crystal

Instructions
 

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Whisk coconut oil, brown sugar, maple syrup, yogurt, eggs, and vanilla together until smooth. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to form a soft dough.
  • Microwave 2 cups frozen berries for one minute. Transfer thawed berries to a fine mesh strainer; rinse with warm water for 15-30 seconds to wash off excess colored juices. Tap the side of the strainer to remove more water. You’ll be left with about 1 cup of thawed berries.
  • Gently fold the berries into the muffin batter. Give it just a few stirs to incorporate the berries, keeping about half intact.
  • Grease a muffin tin with butter or nonstick spray. Divide the batter between 9-10 muffin cups, and top with turbinado sugar.
  • Bake the muffins for 14-16 minutes, in the middle to top of the oven. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before using a knife to gently release and pull each one from the muffin tin.
  • To serve with honey butter, stir softened butter with honey until incorporated. Spread on a warm muffin.

Notes

For a neutral taste, use refined coconut oil. Measure coconut oil by warming in the microwave, and flour by scooping into the measuring cup. Thaw the berries before measuring.
