Notes

Here are a few berry combinations to try out!
  • Classic Triple Berry – Blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries make a great berry blend.
  • Strawberry & Blueberry – This is probably my favorite berry combo for these muffins.
  • Cherry & Blackberry – Make sure your cherries are sweet to balance the tartness of blackberries.
