Recipe Details:
- Cook Time: 30 minutes
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Yield: 12 small muffins
Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 cup flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup assorted berries (strawberries, blackberries, etc.)
Instructions:
-
Beat sugar and egg: In a mixing bowl, beat together the sugar and egg until well combined.
-
Add oil and sour cream: Pour in the oil and sour cream, and mix until smooth and creamy.
-
Incorporate dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and baking soda into the mixture, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
-
Prepare the berries: If using strawberries and blackberries, cut them into pieces roughly the size of a raspberry.
-
Fold in the berries: Gently fold the prepared berries into the batter by hand, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
-
Fill the muffin tin: Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly. Spoon the batter evenly into each muffin cup.
-
Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Serve and enjoy: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve these light and fruity muffins warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the burst of berry goodness in every bite!
Recipe Notes:
- Storage: As these muffins are made with sour cream instead of oil or butter for a lighter texture, they may not stay fresh as long as traditional muffins. Enjoy them on the day of baking for optimal freshness, or freeze any leftovers for later enjoyment.
- Variations: Feel free to customize these muffins with your favorite berries or even add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
