Cook's Tips
May use frozen berries without thawing in place of fresh. Add to dry ingredients instead of folding them in at the end. Add a few minutes more baking time.
To make bite-size muffins, omit adding berries to the batter. Instead, place 1 tablespoon batter into 36 greased mini muffin cups. Quickly press 1 berry into each cup. Bake at 400°F for 10 to 12 minutes. Drizzle with glaze after removing from pans.
