These muffins turned out great. I used fresh berries and found them a little dry so added a splash of milk. I also threw in some white chocolate chips which gave them an extra something special. (I cut the sugar a little because of this)

Delicious! I was intrigued by the combination of bananas and berries in a muffin and found that the flavors work very well together. I used frozen, unsweetened blackberries and my blackberry loving husband claimed these muffins a definite winner. They go together very quickly and easily and are not overly sweet. I served them warm with recipe #316508. Thank you for sharing.

Didnt read the reviews before starting- my fault. They turned out like biscuits, not moist at all and very gluttonous, not nearly enough liquid. Had to throw them out, pity as it was a waste of blueberries

These turned out pretty good. I followed the other reviewers, added one more banana (total 3), and added about 3/4 cup of milk to the batter to combat the dryness. I also used fresh cherries (because this is what I had on hand). Worked out pretty well, my kids love them!

Love these muffins. But mixture doesn't have enough liquid, I used 3 bananas and about 2/3 cup milk. Also replaced half flour with wholemeal flour.
