As summer sadly comes to an end, I am consuming as much fresh summer fruit as I can. Summer is my favorite season and I’m always sad when the end of August comes around knowing soon I’ll have to wear sweaters and socks. I also love the selection of fresh produce and garden herbs only available to me in the summer months.

I’ve made these muffins using both all whole wheat pastry flour and with a blend of whole wheat and white. Both work well but if I had to choose, I prefer using a blend. If fresh berries aren’t available, frozen berries would work as well.

  1. Delicious. I stretched to 16 muffins which lowered calories per muffin.  Love the puréed strawberry. Added more flavor!

  2. I made these! I picked fresh raspberries from a farm and needed to use them. I only used raspberries and blueberries in this recipe (no blackberries). Other than that, I followed the recipe to a tee. They tasted like healthy muffins. The fruit added a lot of sweetness!  I would make these again! They are delicious ?

  4. I made these before dinner and shared one with my husband about 10 minutes out of the oven.  Very easy to make and very tasty.  Looking forward to enjoying one for breakfast.  I did put the recipe into the recipe builder on the WW site and they do come out to 4 smart points.  For the size it seems reasonable.

  5. This recipe looks awesome! I want to use this for school for a muffin assignment but the muffins need to be made in an hour maximum. How long does this recipe take? Cooling time included. Thank you.

    I entered the nutritional info as listed on here into the PP Calculator and it came out to 4, not 3–am I missing something? Just wanted to double check, but great recipe regardless!

  7. These are so good! I have them in the oven right now and this is the second time I've made them this week. I used agave nectar for sweetness instead of sugar (a little less than 1/4 cup. This time, I am upping the whole wheat flour (1-1/2 cups ww and 1/2 cup white) to see how that works. Thanks for the great recipe!

  8. I love these muffins. I use regular whole wheat flour (not pastry) and they come out well. I receive many compliments when I bring these to gatherings 🙂

  9. These muffins came out soo good!! I used regular wheat flour and they were fine! Great recipe. So tasty!!

  10. These muffins are yummy! One of daughter's favorites and she is patiently waiting for a batch to come out of the oven now!

  11. I also got 4pp with the recipe builder. I'll just bill them at that! About to go make them now … (with applesauce instead of strawberries).

  12. I made these with white whole wheat flour. I also substituted for the pureed strawberries 1 cup of applesauce + 1/4 cup pureed carrots, 1/8 cup each baby food sweet potato/ peas. (trying to sneak more veggies into my family's diet). I had to add a bit of water as batter was very thick. And I raised temp to 335. Came out great!

  13. I had a stroke of genius…I substituted the vanilla extract for lemon extract! OMG! Mixed berry lemonade muffins! They are SOOOOO freakin' good!

  14. mine were great…the only bad thing is that they got stuck in the paper. Does anyone know the reason for this to happen? thank you.

  15. What can I used instead of the unsalted butter? If I used regular butter, Do I need to eliminate the salt? Thanks.

  16. These muffins were awesome – and I mistakenly didn't add the cup of all-purpose flour. I did add a little extra wheat flour because I had a little extra fruit puree (I used strawberries, banana and applesauce). And about 2 T of cornstarch, since I didn't have pastry flour. But even with 1/2 the flour, they were fantastic. My family ate them up in one sitting! We have loved each of your recipes that we've tried – thank you!!!

  17. These are great muffins! I nearly ruined the whole batch by forgetting the sugar in the dry mix (don't ask) but I discovered this right before I filled the tin and mixed it in at the very end. It broke up the berries a bit more than it should have, but that didn't affect the overall outcome. I'll be making these again. Keep the awesome recipes coming.

    It sounds like you didn't refrigerate them? They wouldn't last too many days outside of refrigerating or freezing, that goes with any fruit filled muffin.

  19. I followed the recipe and used frozen blueberries and strawberries. They tasted great, but after a couple of days had a strange bad smell to them. Any ideas what went wrong?

  20. I am making these with peach puree in place of the strawberry, sounded good to me! Made them with the strawberries the first time and they were great so i figured peach berry muffins should be just as good.

  21. They taste lovely! I had to replace the flour for 2 cups of wholegrain because it was all I had left, but still it was nice. The only problem I had was that the mixture did not cook all the way through. It remained doughy right around the berries. I tried giving them an extra 10 minutes in the oven, but even that didn't help. Any advice you can give me on where I went wrong? Could it be the flour?

  22. These were divine! I was short on all berries except strawberries, so I made a half-batch as directed, and the remaining half-batch with the strawberry puree, and then just cut up strawberries in place of all the other berries. They both turned out wonderful!

  23. Want to make these for breakfast! They look great! Question though…I can't find pastry flour anywhere…could I possibly use plain whole wheat flour???

  24. These are delicious! I made two batches–one following the recipe exactly, and one using all whole wheat flour. Both were great and I couldn't tell the difference.

  25. These were great! Just curious though, does the recipe require only one egg? In the directions it says to "mix eggs." Also, when I calculated them with the online WW eTools they came out to 3 points plus.

  26. OK, so mine didn't turn out so well. I have never been able to find pastry flour, so I used WW flour and cake flour. Could this have messed them up? They didn't rise too much, and they turned out more cakey/doughy, and less light muffin like. Does that make sense?

  27. Made these last night. They are incredible. I used all blueberries (fresh) as I did not have rasberries and blackberries to fold in. Love, love, love them. I did top off each muffin with a pinch of brown sugar before baking. Thanks so much for such great recipes!!

  28. Yummmm! After success with your banana choc chip muffins I'm going to be all over these. NOM.

    Quick question, we're only just coming into the warmer season here in Australia, so berries are very expensive, I could just use frozen, couldn't I?

  29. So glad to have found you! Actually found your blog from Pinterest. Someone had posted a pix of your carnitas from March. I followed you through the ether, to the source! Thanks!

    I've never used spelt flour so not sure, also not sure how they would turn out without the butter.

  31. Could I make this recipe with spelt flour? Also, could I omit the butter to cut back on the calories

  32. Made a ½ batch of these for my kiddies this morning. But, used applesauce vs. puree, only frozen strawberries, and white flour with ground flaxseed. They ate them up!

    Applesauce would absolutely work in place of strawberries. And of course you can substitute any berry with more of another if you wish.

    If you use self rising, just use less baking soda.

  34. These are so tasty – made them already!

    Lisa, I thought the same thing about the applesauce and I bet it would work, but you can always get frozen strawberries. That's what I used today – thawed then pureed in the blender.

  35. They look great. In the winter, when we don't have quite the great access to strawberries, do you think that applesauce would be able to take the place of the strawberry puree?

  36. These look wonderful – I used to make a berry scone that was very similar in ingredients, but a bit heavier on the fat – MUST give these a try!

  37. these look yummy!
    I am not a huge fan of blueberries though, I am guessing I could just put a little more of the other berries instead?
