These bakery style muffins are bursting with berries!
Sour cream makes amps up this batter, I promise you'll be making these muffins forever.
If there is anything that will get to my kid's heart and whip their attitudes around in a second, it's a good homemade muffin. They love them!
When I make a batch they are often gone within a day. Yep, 12 muffins, 3 kids....gone in a day. Sometimes I'm able to snag one quick, but more often than not they'll eat two for breakfast, grab a couple for snacks and by dinner the whole batch is gone.
But, they are homemade and made with love, so I don't really care. It could be much worse! It could be pre-packaged stuff that's been sitting in the cupboard for weeks.
So I'll take this as a win.
Like everyone else, I feel like I've been cooking and baking a TON during this quarantine. Not because I always want to, but basically out of necessity. I've been able to keep my big grocery hauls to every two weeks {stretch and get creative!}, but I'm itching to just casually walk into a store and browse.
Anyone with me?
I haven't even mentioned Target. I really want to aimlessly stroll the aisles with nothing in mind to buy and then walk out having spent $100 on nothing I actually went in there for.
Those were the days.
Until then, I bake and cook and cook and bake.
These muffins - how do I start?
The inspiration came from two items; a big bag of frozen berries in my freezer from Costco and a new container of my favorite rich, sour cream from Kalona SuperNatural.
My kids love berries {especially in baked goods} and I've always loved how sour cream enhances any batter. So I got to work and baked up these beauties.
Prepare yourself...these are insanely delicious.
You know when you order a big 'ol muffin at a bakery and it's basically the best thing you've ever eaten?
These muffins might rival that bakery muffin.
The are big, very rich and moist and by sprinkling just a bit of sugar on the tops before baking it give these muffins a sweet, sticky crust on top, reminding you of every bakery style muffin you've ever ordered.
I used a combo of blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. That triple combo goes together well and gives each bite a burst of berry sweetness. You can use whatever berries you enjoy, but I really enjoy this version with just a bit of everything.
I cannot wait until you try these!
Grab some softened butter as you walk by {trust me, butter takes them over the top}, sit back and enjoy. These are great for family breakfasts or to take to a friend who'd love a pick-me-up. Have you baked for anyone yet?
These muffins would be a great start.

Found this recipe on Foodtalk. Going to give it a go, really like your style! And I agree, sour cream makes any batter better! Will prepare as written then a second batch prepared with cherries. I have a boatload of cherries to use up plus I love them. My bubble buddies will be so happy! Thanks for sharing.
