Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh or frozen mulberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease or line 18 muffin cups.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix eggs, sour cream, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually combine the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Fold in the mulberries carefully to avoid crushing them.
- Divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 17–20 minutes or until the tops are golden and spring back when touched.
- Cool in the pan for 2–3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins soft and tender.
- Use frozen mulberries without thawing to prevent excess moisture.
- You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a similar texture.
- Add spices like cinnamon or ginger for extra flavor variation.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
