Whole wheat muffins with chocolatey and fruity flavors! These are tart yet sweet and make for a delicious snack!
I personally like using fresh berries rather than frozen. With frozen berries, baking time might need to be extended or extra flour might be needed in the recipe. Why? Frozen fruit releases more liquid from the ice crystals it develops from being frozen. If available, I recommend getting fresh fruit. Especially if it’s in season because it’s sweeter and better quality.
Overall, there’s nothing wrong with either one! Frozen fruit is more readily available and can be stored much longer. If anything, I buy fresh fruit and freeze it myself and use it when I want.
Also, coating your berries with some flour before adding it into the batter prevents it from sinking to the bottom when baking.
