Guys, I'm obsessed with these sweet, juicy patriotic muffins for Memorial Day Weekend!
Tender and rich muffins are sweetened with a bit of vanilla yogurt and studded with juicy, fresh berries! If this doesn't scream summer comfort, I don't know what does.
Before gushing more over how much you NEED to make these muffins to kick off all your MDW festivities, I just want to thank you for the great feedback on my meal delivery review post - one of my most read to date! I'm glad so many of you were interested and I will be working on a second review next week. Be sure to share with any friends or family who may be thinking about signing up for one of these services.
So, muffs, I love muffins. They are pure breakfast indulgence as far as I'm concerned. And these Triple Berry Vanilla Yogurt Muffins are no exception. Imagine a warm Saturday or Sunday morning, sitting outside in the sunshine, with a fresh cup of coffee and one of these gorgeous muffins. It's a match made in heaven! And like I said...you need to make them (sorry for being bossy).
Muffins have made an appearance on GSG twice before - in the banana oat and jumbo pistachio form. The recipe below is more closely related to the pistachio muffins in that we are using a whole stick of butter, for deliciousness and to keep 'em fresh, and we overfill our muffin cups to get beautifully big, round-topped muffins.
I used a combination of chopped strawberries, blueberries and raspberries, but you could certainly sub one of those for blackberries. My raspberries were a bit tart, so for extra sweetness I used brown sugar instead of white sugar and topped the muffins with a small sprinkle of turbinado sugar. From start to finish, these are a wonderful slow weekend breakfast.
I mean....look at that crumb!
P.S. Heading to a cookout this weekend? I'm positive these would make a lovely hostess gift - nothing better than having a home cooked breakfast the day after a party that they don't have to lift a finger for!
