Today’s keeping it simple all day, every day recipe is berry delicious as well as kid-friendly. I love muffins especially the berry flavored muffins. So, the berries make them healthier, right? These are so yummy and easy to make for breakfast or for an afternoon snack. Your kids will love them.
When my boys were growing up we didn’t eat a lot of cereal at our house. Some of their favorites included the cinnamon rolls, monkey bread, or muffins for breakfast. If we had leftovers, I would freeze them for later. Since I am home now, I am trying new recipes. I am keeping it simple all day, every day. So, it is back to the basics for me. I am making muffins and other recipes from scratch. I am praying that you are using this time to do something you love.

I have learned through all of this time at home that simple is better. We buy a lot of things we really don’t need which makes us work harder for more money. The most important things in life are put on the back burner such as time with family, baking our favorite desserts, trying new recipes, going to the farmer’s market, or watching a movie with my husband. Well, it is high time we simplify our lives.
1. Preheat oven to 425 and line 12 count muffin pan with cupcake liners.
2. Mix all of the streusel ingredients together and set aside.
3. Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
4. Use a mixer to beat the butter, sugars on high speed to cream together. Reduce to medium speed and add the eggs one at a time. Beat in the yogurt and vanilla. Lastly, add in the dry ingredients alternating with the milk. Fold in the mixed berries carefully. In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Put a couple of tablespoons in the bottom of each jar and press down.
5. Spoon the batter into the liners, filling them all the way to the top. Top each with streusel, gently pressing it down into the surface so it sticks. Bake for 5 minutes at 425 degrees then keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Bake for an additional 18-20 minutes or until inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the muffin pans before removing.
6. Enjoy!
