Total Time: 38 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 23 mins

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
• 1/2-2/3 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 3/4 cup buttermilk (i use 3/4 c milk tbsp vinegar)
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 2/3 cup canola oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup frozen blueberries
• 1 cup frozen raspberries
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 375°f and line a muffin pan with baking cups.
• 2 in a measuring cup, pour 3/4 milk and add almost a full tablespoon of vinegar, stir and set aside for several minutes.
• 3 in a small bowl, lightly beat 1 egg and stir in the oil. add sugar, vanilla and mix well. this is your 'wet mix'.
• 4 in a large mixing bowl, sift in flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt, stir. this is the 'dry mix'.
• 5 add the frozen berries to the dry mix.
• 6 blend the buttermilk with the wet mix.
• 7 slowly pour the wet mixture over the dry while stirring lightly with a spoon. do not over mix. they key here is to stir it just enough to moisten the dry mix. you should have very thick, sticky, lumpy batter.
• 8 overfill the muffin cups. stuff all the batter into 12 cups, this is not for mini muffin pans!
• 9 sprinkle the tops with brown sugar, just a tiny bit.
• 10 bake for 20-23 minutes in a 375° oven.
