Mixed Berry Muffins

So everyone has like blueberry muffins so why no try mixed berry muffins. I had run out of the paper liners for the cupcakes so I used left over ice cream cones. The cones tasted good with or without the ice cream :)

Putting the ice cream cones in the spots where the muffins should have been made it easier to keep them standing up in the oven. I highly suggest you do that too. The recipe I used is the same one i use for blueberry muffins except i substitute the blueberries for some frozen mixed berries. The juices of the berrie are what give the muffins their nice purplish/pink color :)

1/2 cupe of butter
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/4 cups of white sugar
2 eggs
milk ( I add as much as I think it takes to make the mix look right. I find most recipes call for 1/2 cup but that never is enough)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup of defrosted mixed berries.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
This is where I do everything differently and just combine everything into one bowl. I still fluff the butter but everything else never goes in different bowls or whatever so just put everthing together.
Beat until combined.
Stir in mixed berries.
Fill muffins pan and bake for 25-30 minutes.

Pancake Muffins!

Hey everbody! I got a recipe from http://www.bakerella.com/ for mini pacake muffins! Of course though I have no mini muffin pans so I figured to make them into the bigger muffins.



Although I totally forgot to double the amount since they are supposed to be mini, so my muffins of regular size weren't that big nor did I get a lot of them.

Also, do NOT use the paper! I didn't think about it but the muffins are a bit too sticky to put the paper on and when you take the paper off you just end up messing up the whole bottom of the muffin. They still taste delicious, but just a word of caution :) From the website, the recipe is as follows:

Mini Maple Chocolate Chip Pancake Muffins

1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 egg
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar in a medium bowl. Sift together with a wire whisk.
In another bowl, stir buttermilk, egg, maple syrup and melted butter until just combined.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir with a spoon until combined.
Stir in chocolate chips. Reserve a few chips to sprinkle on the tops.
Bake for 8-9 minutes.
Makes 24 mini pancake muffins.
