Lemon Marionberry Muffins

I have marionberries and blueberries in my freezer and a bowl full of lemons, so I thought I'd put them to use today! I doubled the below recipe, so my notes reflect what I did for a double recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 cups flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• lemon zest*
• 3/4 cup berries, cleaned and cut if needed**

Notes


* I use 1 lemons for zest.
**Can use fresh or frozen. If using frozen I suggest defrosting them first, draining excess juice, and coating in small amount of flour.

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400° F.
2. Line muffin pan with paper liners.
3. In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt with wire whisk.
4. Make a well in the center of dry ingredients and add buttermilk, oil, extract and eggs. Stir just until combined.
5. Fold in berries.
6. Fill muffin liners 2/3 full with batter.
7. Bake for 22- 25 minutes for muffins or until a toothpick comes out clean.
8. Remove from muffin tray and cool on a rack.
