How to make Mixed Berry Flax Muffins
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or grease well.
- Mix in a medium bowl, the flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside
- In a larger separate bowl, stir together the lemon zest and granulated sugar until fragrant. Whisk in eggs until slightly pale. Blend in the oil, yogurt, milk, lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add dry ingredients to the wet and fold gently until almost combined. Toss berries with 1 tablespoon flour, then fold into the batter carefully. Be careful not to overmix.
- Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (about ¾ full). Bake 22–24 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
How to store the muffins
Store the Mixed Berry Flax Muffins by allowing them to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container. Keep the muffins at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days to maintain freshness. Freeze the muffins for longer storage by placing them in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or warm gently in the microwave or oven before serving.
