The last three bakes I’ve done have not turned out, I was so upset. I figured out my baking powder had gone off. Got some fresh stuff and made these:

https://natashaskitchen.com/mixed-berry-muffins/

  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt , (or sour cream)
  • 1/2 cup extra LIGHT olive oil, (not extra virgin)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 250g all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup strawberries, hulled and diced
  • 1/2 cup raspberries
  • 1/2 cup blueberries

The changes I made,

First step, I zested a whole orange into a scant 1 cup of sugar and combined until evenly incorperated. then also mixed in about a teaspoon each cardamom and ginger powder. maybe a little less cardamom, and a little more ginger. I use cane sugar.

Used 1 cup frozen cranberries and 1/2 cup frozen blueberries

Used two containers of berry greek yogurt.

Oil of choice was avacado.

Confidence regained. Don’t forget to check the date on your baking powder!

    Nice, these look great!

    For future reference though, baking powder/soda takes a really long time to go fully flat. Probably all you needed to do was use a bit extra!

      I didn’t think of that!

      It was a full six months post the best buy date, and cheap enough just to get a new one, but I will remember this going forward!
