MIXED BERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Line a 12-count muffin tin with cupcake liners and preheat oven to 400˚F. In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat 2 eggs with 1 cup granulated sugar on high speed 5 minutes, or until thick and light in color.
• Add 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup oil, 1 tsp vanilla. Set mixer to low speed and mix just until combined.
• In a small bowl, add 2 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt and whisk to combine. Using a hand held whisk, add flour mixture into the batter 1/3 at a time, stirring to incorporate with each addition. DO NOT OVERMIX or muffins will be dense.
• Use a spatula to fold in 1 1/2 cups mixed berries, folding just until combined.

Bake in the center of the oven at 400˚F for 20-22 minutes or until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center come out clean. Transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool.
