Directions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease generously.
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground nutmeg.
- 3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the lightly beaten egg, whole milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. The batter should still be slightly lumpy; do not overmix.
- 5
Gently fold in the fresh mixed berries until evenly distributed.
- 6
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each approximately two-thirds full.
- 7
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
