Triple the Berries…Triple the Yummy

I cannot get over all the beautiful berries that bursting at my local grocery store and farmers market.  It seems everytime I go to the store I cannot help but buy several…they just look that good.

What to do with all these berries?

As much as I can’t resist the berries I now have to figure out what to do with all of them.  First I made my Berry Smoothie, and then I put some on ice cream.  Next I made my Berry Tart and then I just ate them on their own.  I used a lot of them but there was still some left…so what could I do next?  

Make Triple Berry Muffins, of course.

Bursting Berries in every bite!

For these muffins I went with a recipe that is light but still able to support all the berries…because I was going to be using A LOT of them.  For this batch I went with blueberries, strawberries and blackberries.  I cut the strawberries and blackberries to help them blend into the muffins easier, but they were still super yummy with each bite.

If you don’t have all 3 berries on hand these muffins are great with just blueberries or a combo of whatever you have on hand.   Just make sure to use all 3 cups of berries…that way you have berries in each and every bite.

A little extra on top

For this recipe I used 1/2 of the berries in the batter and then I dropped the second 1/2 on top of the muffins.  I love doing this with all my berry muffins.  

It adds so much extra yummy to each bite, and it also makes them so pretty!!

Oh yeah and we can’t forget about the crumble…

Now I am going to tell you a secret my favorite part of this muffin is the top…the crumble.  It is buttery, delicious and a perfect top to this berry filled muffin.

As you can see I piled it pretty thick.  The crumble was also my brothers favorite part…it is so, so good!
