  2. Line a 12-cup medium to large muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups well.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 cup buttermilk, and 2 large eggs until light and frothy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 2 cups of your favorite berries (fresh or frozen).
  7. Fill each muffin cup ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the muffins are golden brown.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
