Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat oven to 190℃/375℉. Line your large muffin pan with 6 large liners and lightly grease.
- Cream butter, sugars and zest on medium speed with a paddle until very light and fluffy, about 4 mins.
- Add in eggs, one at a time, and vanilla, and paddle together slowly until incorporated. Scrape the bowl well.
- Whisk together all the dries (flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices), and paddle half of this into the mixture until just incorporated.
- Follow with half the sour cream, then the remaining half of the dries, ending on the remaining half of the sour cream.
- Fold in the fruit (and white choc if using) until all mixed.
- Scoop about 140-150g of muffin batter into the liners (for blueberry variation top each muffin with about 10g more blueberry, and a sprinkle of sugar).
- Bake for about 30-35 minutes, until a cake tester comes out with just a couple of crumbs, and/or the internal temp reaches at least 205℉.
Notes
*I use soft red wheat in these muffins because it’s a whole grain that’s naturally low in gluten and protein. This results in a more tender crumb, unlike hard wheat, which has higher protein and gluten, often making muffins denser and tougher. Spelt is also a great option here!
