Ingredients for 20 Minute Huckleberry Muffins

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen huckleberries
  • 2 large eggs
  • Milk
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to Make 20 Minute Huckleberry Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a standard 12-muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 cup fresh or frozen huckleberries.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, ½ cup milk (or cream), ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
