MAPLE BLACKBERRY BREAKFAST MUFFINS INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F

Step 2: Add the muffin liners to your muffin tin or grease your muffin tin with butter. 

Step 3: In a bowl, whisk all of the dry ingredients together and set aside.

Step 4: In a larger bowl add all of the wet ingredients. Mix well.

Step 5: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients all at the same time.

Step 6: Mix the dry and wet ingredients just until mixed. You don't want to overmix the batter.

When a toothpick comes out clean, they are ready.

HOW TO FREEZE BLACKBERRY BREAKFAST MUFFINS

These maple blackberry muffins are so easy to freeze for later. The trick is to freeze them after they cool.

Let the maple blackberry muffins cool completely first. Then put them onto a baking tray and put it into the freezer. Once your blackberry muffins are frozen, transfer them into an airtight container & label with the date. For optimal freshness, use them within 4 months.

When you are ready to eat the muffins, just take them out ahead of time or you can also use a toaster oven on a low setting to thaw them.

MAPLE BLACKBERRY MUFFIN TIPS

• To get the best results, only stir the baking ingredients just until combined. That will give you a light and fluffy muffin. When you overwork batter, the texture becomes gummy & unpleasantly chewy.
• Use fresh blackberries whenever possible. Fresh blackberries are usually available throughout the summer.
• Fill your muffin tin about 3/4 of the way. This will leave enough room for expansion while baking
• For extra crunch and maple flavour on top of the muffins, sprinkle with our organic Maple Sugar.
• To keep the maple blackberry muffins fresh, store them in an airtight container and eat them within 3 days.
