Directions 

To make these buttery maqui berry muffins, begin by preheating your oven and preparing a muffin pan with liners. In one bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients, including flour, baking powder, salt, and maqui berry powder. In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then beat in the eggs and milk. Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin liners and bake until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

These straightforward steps create soft, flavorful muffins that are easy to bake and enjoy fresh.
