Notes

Tip
Keep an eye out for cheap berries when you’re at the grocer or supermarket. When I spot a bargain, I buy two punnets and freeze the second for later use.
Tip
The key to lovely light muffins is to keep the stirring to a minimum. Stir the ingredients until they are just combined to avoid heavy doorstop muffins.
Variation
You can substitute blueberries with other berries of your choice.
