Triple Berry Cake Mix Muffins

Friday, May 26, 2023
These Triple Berry Cake Mix Muffins are bursting with fresh or frozen berries and are one of the easiest perfect muffins you'll ever make.

Our muffins are made starting with a cake mix with the addition of instant lemon or vanilla pudding, they bake up moist and tender.

Perfect for a red, white, and blue Patriotic Holiday party or just because they're so delicious!

They're even great as a dessert muffin just by adding a scoop of your favorite ice cream and a dollop of whipped cream.

The recipe comes together quickly using an electric mixer, folding in the berries, and baking in cupcake tins with or without liners.

I really love how interchangeable these muffins are and you can adapt them to any fruits you prefer using the same amount specified in this recipe.

We even included a streusel topping if you prefer a touch of delicious cinnamon-style coffee cake muffins!
