Salmon Berry Orange Muffins

For me, the first signs of summer have always been the arrival of salmon berries.  I love them and my kids do too!  I only wish it was easier to freeze these berries to enjoy them throughout the year.
It is the tail end of Salmon Berry season where I am but I thought I would post this awesome new recipe I have been using this year for Salmon Berry Muffins.  My family can't seem to get enough of them.  I love the hint from the orange zest in these.

Salmon Berry Orange Muffins

2 1/2 cups flour

3/4 cup sugar

1 tbsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

pinch of nutmeg

1/2 cup oil

1 cup milk

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

zest of 2 oranges

1 1/2 cups salmon berries

1. Preheat the oven to 375 and line or oil your muffin tins.
2. Combine the dry ingredients (first five) together and make sure they are really blended.
3. Whisk together the oil, milk, eggs, vanilla and orange zest.
4. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients.  Mix only enough for all the dry ingredients to be moist.
5. Fold in the salmon berries.
6. Fill the muffin cups 2/3 of the way full and bake for about 20-25 minutes. Use the toothpick test to ensure they are cooked all of the way through.
