Ingredients

Scale

Batter

  • 195 grams All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon Salt
  • 125 grams Granulated Sugar
  • 100 grams Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 30 milliliters Vegetable Oil
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 125 milliliters Milk
  • 1 tablespoon Corn Starch
  • 1 1/2 cups Fresh Mixed Berries

Crumble Topping

  • 90 grams Unsalted Butter, cold
  • 125 grams All-Purpose Flour
  • 125 grams Brown Sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature when you’re ready to bake the muffins.
  2. Prepare Crumble: In a bowl, mix together cold butter (90 grams), all-purpose flour (125 grams), and brown sugar (125 grams) until crumbly. Place this mixture in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the batter.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour (195 grams), baking powder (2 1/2 tsp), and salt (1/8 tsp). Set aside.
  4. Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a stand mixer, beat the softened unsalted butter (100 grams) and granulated sugar (125 grams) on high speed until light and fluffy.
  5. Add Oil and Vanilla: Reduce mixer speed to medium-low and add vegetable oil (30 milliliters), then pour in vanilla extract (1 teaspoon), mixing to combine.
  6. Incorporate Eggs: Add eggs (2) one at a time, mixing well after each to maintain a smooth batter.
  7. Add Milk: Slowly pour in the milk (125 milliliters) while mixing on low speed to keep the batter smooth.
  8. Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold in the dry flour mixture on low speed, pausing to ensure all is just combined without overmixing.
  9. Add Berries: Toss fresh mixed berries (1 1/2 cups) with corn starch (1 tablespoon) to prevent sinking, then gently fold them into the batter.
  10. Fill Muffin Tin: Line a 12-muffin tin with paper liners and evenly divide the batter among the cups.
  11. Add Crumble Topping: Sprinkle the chilled crumble mixture generously on top of each muffin cup.
  12. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 27 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
  13. Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool completely in the pan. For a crispier topping before serving, briefly reheat in a toaster oven. Enjoy your delicious homemade mixed berry muffins!

Notes

  • Use fresh mixed berries for best texture; frozen berries can be used but may make the batter wetter.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added to keep the muffins tender and light.
  • The corn starch helps to keep the berries evenly distributed and prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
  • You can customize the crumble topping by adding cinnamon or chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.
  • Ensure the butter for the crumble topping is cold to create a proper crumbly texture.
  • Allow muffins to cool completely before removing from the pan to prevent breaking.
