Food Photography – Mixed Berry Muffins

I’ve been making mixed berry muffins with berries from our freezer. Personally, I prefer lemon poppyseed, but Darren is digging these.

The thing I love about muffins is that you basically only need to dirty one bowl to make them and once they come out of the oven they’re done. I prefer to eat cookies but baking them makes so many dishes, plus running all the baking sheets through the oven at 10 minutes a pop seems really high maintenance to me.

I modified Isa Chandra Moskowitz’s recipe for Lemon Poppyseed Muffins from her book Vegan Brunch. I omitted the lemon zest, decreased the lemon juice to 1 tsp, and folded in 1 1/2 cups of frozen mixed berries right before then went into the muffin tray.

What is your favourite type of thing to bake? Why? Do you have any baking short cuts? Is there something that you quite enjoy eating, but could do without the baking part?
