Quark Banana and Blackberry Muffin



I'm just enjoyed making and baking lately, fresh picked berries from my garden, nice summer weather and nice children are always willing to help . I'm so blessed. :) . This time, I make some nice beautiful golden brown crust and are absolutely taste yummy, bursting with flavorful banana and fresh berry muffins.. Oh I'm just loved the smell.. It just turn out good, moist and tender and almost bread-like in texture . We are using quark and corn oil instead of yogurt and butter.


Quark Banana and Blackberry Muffins: 

2 1/2 cups (325 grams) all-purpose flour
3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated white sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 cup (240 ml)quark
1/2 cup (120 ml)corn oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups fresh blackberry
2 medium size banana( roughly chopped)

In a large measuring cup or bowl whisk together the egg, quark, oil, and vanilla extract.. In the different bowl, add all the dry ingredients, and gently fold in the blackberry and banana . With a rubber spatula fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until the ingredients are combined.
Fill each muffin cup almost full with batter using two spoons. Place in the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 25 - 30 minutes.
 Makes 12 regular sized muffins.
