Triple Berry Muffins

I have been slack on my blog updates, things have been busy, busy, busy.  It is berry season in Georgia, so every week we have been buying a ton of yummy berries.  Berries as snacks.  Berries in smoothies.  And to help satisfy my sweet cravings without eating a ton of artificial gunk and sugar, berry muffins!  Today we had blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries (all on sale!), so I put them all into a yummy muffin.  I've made a few adjustments to the original recipe (http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/blackberry_muffins/) to make them a bit healthier.

Triple Berry Muffins Recipe
Adapted from Simply Recipes
Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups all purpose or whole wheat flour (I use half regular flour and half whole wheat flour)
• 1 Tbsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
•  2 large eggs
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tsp. milk
• 1 cup sugar
• 8 Tbsp. melted butter (1 stick)
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• zest of one orange
• 1 1/2 cups fresh blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries (cut in half)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Grease a standard muffin pan or line with paper muffin liners.
2. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl (flour through cinnamon).
3. Mix the wet ingredients in a separate bowl (eggs, yogurt, milk, sugar, butter, vanilla and orange zest).
4. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients.  Do not over mix.
5. Add berries to the batter and lightly fold in.  
6. Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cup.  (recipe yields 18 muffins).  Bake for 17-20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the muffins comes out clean.
