Buttermilk Muffins

Any recommendations? I have buttermilk to spare - and lots of berries.

This is my favorite buttermilk biscuit recipe (from the blog "Brown Eyed Baker"). Last time I made them for shortcakes I sprinkled some coarse sugar on top before baking.

No berries, but I make this frequently with extra buttermilk. I have made it into both a loaf and muffins and it works equally well. Muffins cook a bit quicker!

Buttermilk Cinnamon Bread
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
¼ cup veg oil
1 ¼ cups sugar
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
½ tbls cinnamon

Directions:
In a large mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking soda and salt.

In a small bowl, combine oil and 1 cup sugar. Add buttermilk and eggs to sugar mixture, mix well. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fill greased loaf pan 1/3 full. Combine cinnamon and remaining sugar and sprinkle half over the batter. Top with remaining batter and cinnamon sugar. Swirl batter with a knife.

Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes before moving to a wire rack.
