Do you want to make yummy fruit surprise muffins everyone will love? Then read on!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (825 grams) of flour
  • 1/2 cup of sugar (100 grams), plus a little extra
  • 1 tablespoon (14 grams) baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2 grams) salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon rind, freshly grated
  • 1/2 cup (113 grams) butter
  • 1/2 cup (119 grams) lemon juice, squeezed from 3 to 4 lemons
  • 1/3 cup (79 milliliters) of egg whites or egg substitute
  • 1/2 cup (61 grams) of fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup of fresh blueberries

Steps

  1. Wash hands. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put 12 muffin cups into muffin pan. Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. Set aside.
  2. Grate the lemon rind. Lemon rind is the outside yellow skin of a lemon. A grater will take it off a little at a time. Be sure to scrape only the yellow part of the rind....no white.
  3. Place butter in a small bowl and melt butter in microwave. Set timer for 30 seconds. If the butter isn't melted, microwave for 10 seconds more.
  4. Mix together melted butter, lemon juice, egg, and lemon rind. Add the dry ingredients into butter mix and stir.
  5. Use a ladle to fill the muffin cups about a third of the way up. Put a few raspberries in half the muffin cups and a few blueberries in the other half. Cover the berries with the rest of the muffin batter.
  6. Sprinkle about 1/4 teaspoon sugar on top of each muffin. Bake for 20 to 50 minutes until slightly brown. Let muffins cool before serving. Makes one dozen.
  7. Finished.
