Ingredients

For Huckleberry Muffins

For Bakery-Style Topping

    Directions

    Huckleberries are one of the Pacific Northwest’s most prized wild fruits — tiny, deep‑purple berries that grow almost exclusively in high‑elevation mountain regions of Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Oregon—loved for their bold, wine‑dark flavor that’s sweeter, tart, and more floral than a blueberry. These huckleberry muffins are moist and lightly sweet, with a bakery‑style sugar topping that bakes into a lightly crisp finish. Every bite is packed with pure huckleberry flavor, bursting with bright huckleberry character.

    Step1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a muffin pan with liners. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all‑purpose flour, ½ cup sugar, 3 tablespoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt until evenly combined.

    Step2

    Next, add 1/3 cup of vegetable oil, 1 egg, 1 1/4 cups of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until combined.

    Step3

    Gently fold in 1 1/4 cups of fresh or frozen unthawed huckleberries.

    Step4

    Fill the muffin liners 2/3 full of the blueberry muffin batter.

    Step5

    Make the topping. Add 3 tablespoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar to a small bowl, mixing with a fork until combined. Sprinkle a generous amount of the sugar mixture onto the tops of the muffins. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Once out of the oven, allow the muffins to cool for 10 minutes. Gently go around each muffin with a butter knife, loosening them from the pan if necessary.

    Step6

    Allow to cool for a few minutes, then serve.

    Step7

    Enjoy!
