How To Make summer berry muffins

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Use paper muffin liners to line a 9-cup muffin tray or coat with cooking spray.
  • 2
    Sift the flours, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. Gently fold in the mixed berries.
  • 3
    Melt the margarine gently in a small saucepan, then add the sugar, egg and milk and mix until smooth. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the liquid ingredients into the well. Gently fold the ingredients together, mixing just until combined. The batter will be lumpy.
  • 4
    Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about two-third's full. Bake until the muffins are golden brown, about 18 to 20 minutes.
  • 5
    Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly, then serve warm. The muffins can be kept in an airtight container for 1 to 2 days.
  • 6

Fold in 1 peeled and chopped pear. In a separate bowl, mix together 2 tbsp. melted reduced fat margarine spread, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 eggs and 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp. orange juice. Pour this over the flour mixture and fold the ingredients together. Spoon into 9 muffins tins and bake as in the main recipe.
