I stumbled across these exceptionally easy muffins, they are so luscious and abundant and bursting with berries you will want to make these time and time again. Absolutely feel free to change the fruit according to your preference, I used what I had on hand. You may also find that adding chocolate chips enhances... or heightens the sweetness. This is certainly a great base muffin recipe to add whichever sweet or savoury flavours you wish.
Blueberry Raspberry Muffins
---------------------------------------------------------------------
makes 12 muffins
2 cups self raising flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1 1/2 cups Greek yoghurt
grated zest of 1 orange
1/2 cup olive oil
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
Preheat oven to 350ºC (180ºF ). Line a 12 cup muffin tin with silicone baking cups or paper cup liners.
In a large bowl whisk together the flour and sugar. Add the yoghurt, orange zest, olive oil and eggs and mix until just blended together, do not over mix.
Gently fold in the berries. The batter will be thick so not to worry. Then fill each prepared cup with the muffin batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the muffins spring back, when gently pressed on top and are golden brown.
Notes: You can make these more of a savoury muffin by replacing the berries with any one combination of cheese, bacon, ham, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, green onion and some of your favourite herbs and omitting the sugar and orange zest.
