Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 0.75 cups milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups mixed fresh fruit (such as blueberries, raspberries, diced apple, or diced peach)
• 1 teaspoons all-purpose flour (for coating fruit)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-count muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the wells.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just incorporated, being careful not to overmix as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

In a small bowl, toss the mixed fresh fruit with 1 teaspoon of flour. This will prevent the fruit from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.

Step 6

Gently fold the coated fruit into the batter, distributing it evenly.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy your fruit-filled muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
