What are Mixed Berries?

“Mixed berries” refers to a mix of different berry varieties. Common combinations include strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries. For this recipe I used blueberries, strawberries and raspberries, but feel free to swap in other berries you prefer or already have on hand. Smaller berry pieces work best so the fruit distributes evenly without weighing the batter down.

Ingredients

Most of the ingredients are pantry staples. Measure everything out before you start for a smooth baking process.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
• ¾ cup old fashioned rolled oats
• ½ cup coconut sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup almond milk
• ½ cup Greek yogurt
• ¼ cup coconut oil (melted) or another neutral oil
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• ⅓ cup blueberries
• ⅓ cup diced strawberries
• ⅓ cup raspberries

Substitutions

You can adapt this recipe for dietary needs:

• Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and certified gluten-free oats to make the muffins gluten-free.
• Swap Greek yogurt for dairy-free coconut or almond yogurt to make them dairy-free; use an egg replacer to make them vegan.
• Replace coconut oil with avocado oil, vegetable oil, or light olive oil if you prefer.
• Change the berries to suit taste—omit tart varieties or increase sweeter berries if desired.

How to Make Mixed Berry Muffins

These muffins are straightforward and forgiving, perfect for both new and experienced bakers. Follow the steps below for consistent results.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, coconut sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.

In a separate measuring cup or small bowl, whisk the almond milk, melted coconut oil, Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.

Create a well in the dry ingredients, pour in the wet ingredients, and stir gently with a spatula until the mixture is just combined. Avoid overmixing—some small lumps are fine.

Gently fold in the blueberries, diced strawberries and raspberries, taking care not to crush the berries. A light hand keeps the fruit from bleeding into the batter.

Use a cookie scoop or a ¼ cup measure to fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full. Bake for 20–22 minutes, until the tops spring back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Cooling prevents sogginess and helps the texture set.

How to Store Muffins

Store muffins at room temperature for short-term use, refrigerate for a few days if you prefer, or freeze for longer storage. Always let muffins cool completely before storing to avoid condensation that makes them soggy.

• Eat within 3 days: Keep at room temperature in an airtight container.
• Keep a few days longer: Refrigerate, though texture can change.
• Freeze up to 3 months: Wrap individually or place in a freezer-safe container, then thaw and reheat when ready to eat.
