Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup whole wheat flour

½ cup granulated sugar

¼ cup packed brown sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 large eggs

¾ cup buttermilk (or Greek yogurt)

½ cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup mixed fresh berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)

Zest of 1 lemon

Optional: ¼ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) for added crunch

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven:

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing it with cooking spray to ensure easy muffin release.

      Combine Dry Ingredients:

        In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Ensure the dry ingredients are fully combined for even flavor distribution.

          Mix Wet Ingredients:

            In a separate bowl, beat the two large eggs until lightly frothy. Incorporate the buttermilk (or Greek yogurt), vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and lemon zest, mixing until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

              Create the Batter:

                Gently pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently stir until just combined; the batter should remain slightly lumpy. Avoid overmixing, as this will help keep your muffins fluffy and light.

                  Fold in Fresh Fruits:

                    Carefully fold the mixed fresh berries and chopped nuts (if using) into the batter. Take care to be gentle to prevent the berries from breaking apart too much.

                      Fill Muffin Tins:

                        Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each cup about ¾ full to allow for rising while baking.

                          Bake:

                            Place the muffin tin in your preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, which is a great indication of doneness.

                              Cool and Serve:

                                Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. These muffins are delightful when enjoyed warm or at room temperature!
