Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup almond flour

¾ cup granulated sugar

2 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

Zest of 1 lemon

Zest of 1 orange

1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen: blueberries, raspberries, and diced strawberries)

½ cup plain Greek yogurt

½ cup buttermilk

1/3 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 tbsp honey (optional, for extra sweetness)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until fully combined. Add the lemon and orange zest, mixing until fragrant.

      In another bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and honey (if using) until smooth.

        Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined; do not overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.

          Carefully fold in the mixed berries, making sure not to crush them.

            Using a ice cream scoop or a large spoon, fill the muffin cups about ¾ full with batter.

              Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Enjoy your Summer Muffins warm or at room temperature, perfect for breakfast or a delightful snack!
