Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour 250g
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar 150g
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk 120ml
  • 1/2 cup melted butter or vegetable oil 113g
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen mulberries
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven and prepare tin:

    Warm oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lining with paper cups or greasing lightly.
  • Whisk dry ingredients together:

    In a big bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt with a whisk.
  • Blend wet ingredients:

    In a separate bowl, blend eggs, milk, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract until uniform.
  • Combine wet and dry mixtures:

    Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and fold gently until barely incorporated.
  • Fold in mulberries gently:

    Carefully fold in the mulberries to prevent crushing them.
  • Fill muffin cups evenly:

    Evenly portion the batter into the muffin cups, filling each roughly two-thirds full.
  • Bake until golden and done:

    Bake for 18–22 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean.
  • Cool muffins on rack:

    Allow muffins to rest in the pan for a few minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool entirely.
