Sweetened with orange juice and honey these Very Berry Muffins make a delicious way to start your day!
Muffins are my favorite breakfast food, I mean favorite! Which if you have checked out my recipe archive, then you probably already know that about me. I love all kinds of muffins, but this time of the year when fresh berries are in abundance I can’t help but want to bake them into everything. A combination of blueberries and strawberries fill these Very Berry Muffins; they are sweetened with orange juice and honey and make a delicious way to start your day!
I particularly love how portable muffins are, you can grab one when you are running out the door or enjoy it alongside your morning eggs. They make a great snack and are super easy to customize to fit even the pickiest of eaters tastes! I also enjoy trying to make them as healthy as possible; while at other times I love baking up more of a “breakfast cupcake,” like these Brownie Muffins or Turtle Muffins.
These muffins are definitely more on the healthy side, made with flax meal, unbleached flour and sweetened with orange juice and honey; but don’t let that fool you, they are delicious. Whatever you prefer a healthy muffin or a more indulgent one, I hope you will enjoy these sweet berry muffins – happy baking!
