Welcome to the second berry Monday! Before I share how I used some of these berries I wanted to introduce you to all the berries that are featured in upcoming recipes.

First on my recipe list are muffins! I used the following berries:

Blueberries:

Tayberries:

Boysenberries:

For the muffins I used a basic fat free vegan muffin recipe that also uses whole wheat pastry flour (fat free means you’ll usually see applesauce in place of oil in the recipe). You can also find a traditional basic muffin recipe if you prefer. I then split the recipe into thirds. To 1/3 I folded in about a 1/3 cup of blueberries, to the next 1/3 I folded in 1/3 cup of tayberries, and then the final 1/3 was pretty exciting. Since the boysenberries are so large I put a little bit of batter on the bottom of the muffin liner, I placed a berry on top, and covered it with batter making what I hoped would be a berry center filled muffin. Each berry mixture made 4 muffins for a total of 12.

They were delicious and my berry filled muffin was a success!

Which flavor would you like to try the most?
