Muffins make wonderful snacks, breakfasts, or desserts. They can be flavored with almost anything from bananas and chocolate chips to pumpkin and cinnamon.
Berries, and especially blueberry, seem to be the most common and popular muffin flavors, and for good reason, too. Tossing a few berries into your muffin mix adds color, texture, flavor, and a health boost to an otherwise uninspiring muffin.
Here is a list of OGP berry-filled muffin recipes for you to try. Sure, many of them are blueberry-based, but keep an eye out for the odd raspberry, strawberry, and even the odd cranberry!
