Dear Steemit Friends,
My baking recipe for today calls for plenty of berries and this is one of the easiest recipes to bake. This basic muffin recipe does not need extra effort to obtain rare ingredients. In fact, most of the ingredients can be in your home already. The orange juice and the pitted cherries in the glass are the ingredients that make these muffins so moist and soft...
It is your option to use whatever muffin forms you prefer... This recipe is for 12 pieces of standard muffins. I prefer to use the bigger forms and I just double the quantity of the batter not exceeding the 3/4 level of batter in each form ...
I find it very practical to use silicon forms however big or small. They are very handy and muffins can easily be removed without each sticking to the form. I used my souffle form that I´ve just coated with butter then with flour, placed in the freezer for 10 minutes before filling the batter. Reason is, the muffins are crispier on the sides when removed from the form.
So, I hope you will try this delicious recipe and serve them to your loved ones and friends in your next coffee round. I´m sure, they will crave for more ....so be sure to bake more! They can be baked the day before and can be stored overnight in a tightly covered jar.

1 cup pitted cherries in glass, drained
1 cup dried cranberries

by hand. Set aside.In the second container, with a whisk...mix the beaten egg, olive oil, grated orange peel and the orange juice. Add this
mixture to the first container of dry ingredients. By using a spatula or wooden spoon, mix thoroughly just until all the
dry ingredients are well coated and moistened by the liquid. Add the cherries, cranberries and blueberries carefully
mixing it with a spoon so that they are well distributed in the batter.Fill each form with 2-3 spoons of the batter if you´re making the 12 pcs. If big forms for 6 muffins are used, then see
to it that each form is filled only with 3/4 batter, not more! Place the forms in the middle oven rack, bake muffins for
about 30 minutes. Remove muffin tray from the oven and place it on a wire rack for about 5 minutes. Remove muffins
from the form and transfer them onto a platter, cool completely, sprinkle top with confectioner´s sugar.
