Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 cup fresh blueberries
¾ cup fresh raspberries
2 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs together with an electric mixer until well blended. Add the softened butter, buttermilk, and lemon zest to the eggs and mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be lumpy—avoid overmixing, as this develops gluten and results in tough muffins. Gently fold in the blueberries and raspberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Lightly coat a jumbo muffin tin with cooking spray. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
In a small bowl, combine the finely chopped walnuts. If desired, add a small amount of butter or sugar to create a crumbly topping by mashing with a fork until the texture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the batter in each muffin cup.
Bake for 20 to 30 minutes until the muffin tops are golden brown and a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack. Serve warm with butter, or cool completely before storing.
Comments
This is a straightforward muffin recipe using common pantry items available everywhere in Charlotte—all-purpose flour, sugar, eggs, butter, baking powder, and baking soda are standard at every chain, and blueberries and raspberries are reliably stocked year-round even in winter at Harris Teeter and Kroger, though they'll cost more off-season. The stated 40 minutes is honest if you count oven time, but real active prep (measuring, mixing, chopping walnuts if whole) runs closer to 15 minutes, so the timeline is fair. At about $1.50 to $2.00 per muffin once you account for butter, eggs, and berries, the cost is moderate—not bargain breakfast, but reasonable for a homemade treat. The main weakness is that muffins are same-day eating: they stay edible for a second day but dry out quickly and reheat poorly, making them less practical for weeknight meal planning or leftovers.
