Buttermilk Mixed-Berry Muffins - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups all-purpose whole wheat flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup buttermilk
2/3 cup safflower oil or 2/3 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 2 cups blackberries (fresh or frozen) or 2 cups strawberries (fresh or frozen)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C). Grease a 12 - 2 3/4 x 1 1/2 inch muffin cups.
In a large measuring cup or bowl whisk together the egg, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract.
In another large bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and orange zest. Gently fold in the berries. With a rubber spatula fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir only until the ingredients are combined. Do not over mix the batter or tough muffins will result.
When filling the muffin cups, trying using two spoons to prevent the batter from dropping outside the cup. Place in the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for about 5 minutes before removing from pan.
