Strawberries, Raspberries and Blueberries take center stage in these homemade triple berry muffins. These easy to make muffins can be made with fresh or frozen berries and are perfect for breakfast, brunch or for snacking.
I couldn't resist these fresh berries at the store. They looked so amazing and since I am craving all things associated with warmer weather, I bought one of each. Then I made these triple berry muffins!
I am so happy that spring is finally here! At least it was all week. And then the weekend came... temps are back into the 40s and rain! Ugh! But at least the grass is turning green, the crocuses are blooming and the birds are chirping and there's no snow! I really love spring but I also love summer.
Summer is when we have an abundance of fresh fruit and produce. Right now I need to rely on our store to provide those for me. I stocked up on my latest trip to the grocery store!
What berries are used in these mixed berry muffins?
I've made blueberry muffins and raspberry muffins, but never have I used blueberries and raspberries together in a muffin. To make it even better, I've added strawberries. You might call this the trifecta of muffins! These delicious muffins are made with all three berries - blueberries, raspberries and strawberries.
I added orange zest and a bit of fresh squeezed orange juice to enhance the berries. You could also use a lemon instead of an orange.

Three berries--could a fourth be used or substituted?

Hi Kathy - these look extra delicious!! I love all the fresh berries, in fact I made a pound cake yesterday with blueberries. Orange juice and zest is a great idea in muffins. It's 80° here today - we can hardly believe it - it was in the 40's just a couple days ago. Bring on the warm weather. Have a super week my friend!

Nothing makes berry muffins better than having three types of berries! Perfect, especially now that the weather is warming up and there will be lots of local berries to use. Wishing I had one of these right now with coffee 😉

I'm right there with ya about Spring, Kathy! It showed up, then it disappeared, but at least it's supposed to come back this week. And I credit you and the berry-buying spree for luring Spring back out. 🙂 And these muffins really do sound amazing. I love how you used 3 different types of berries! These would be perfect for breakfast on a warm summer morning...or today. Haha!

Love the triple berries Kathy!! These look fantastic!
Kathy says
Anyone of these berries would be great in a muffin by itself, but they are pretty awesome altogether!
Nicoletta @sugarlovespices says
They do look fresh and tasty and gorgeous like a summer day! I like that they are loaded with 3 kinds of berries (my favorites!) and the batter is so smooth and creamy with the sour cream and the vegetable oil. Great addition the orange zest/juice! Pinned!
Kathy says
Thanks, Nicoletta! They disappeared quickly...but that tends to happen with three teenagers in the house!
