Summer sweet berries rolled into a luscious batter and then baked until the little jewel-toned buds burst.
Am I convincing you? Would it help if I told you there is a crunchy cinnamon-sugar topping to complete the deal?
Thought so. What are you waiting for. I'm convinced that there is NO better accompaniment to your morning coffee.

THE RESULTS?
Before I really learned to bake, I made these muffins and they almost made my headspin. Me? The NON-BAKER made these? But they are incredible! To this day they are still my family's favorite muffin. Even with a lack of baking skills you could make these.
