Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a standard muffin tin with paper liners. Spray the whole pan (the flat top as well!) with nonstick cooking spray. this prevents your muffin tops from sticking.

Step 2

Use milk or water according to package instructions. Don't substitute.

Step 3

Mix the ingredients together by hand, and be careful not to over mix!

Step 4

Mix in additional berries or zest.

Step 5

Fill the muffin cups 3/4 of the way up. This might mean you have fewer muffins than your package instructions call for.

Step 6

Top with streusel or turbinado sugar, etc.

Step 7

Bake. If your package instructions called for a baking temperature BELOW 425°F, reduce the heat after the first 4-5 minutes of baking time to the recommended temperature. DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN. Bake for the time your package states.
