    These Saskatoon berry muffins are easy to make and a great way to enjoy Saskatoon berry season! Brown sugar, cinnamon, and coconut milk enhance the flavor, also making them naturally dairy-free.

    These Saskatoon muffins were inspired by the flavors in my Saskatoon Berry Oatmeal Cookies and also by my daughter’s lactose intolerance. I wanted to make her a Saskatoon berry recipe she could really enjoy (with abandon) and not have to worry about taking Lactaid. These muffins are popular during Saskatoon berry season but great any time of year! They make a great breakfast, snack, or dessert!

    • 📋 Saskatoon Berry Muffin Recipe
    • 📋More Saskatoon Berry Recipes

    I started working on this recipe last year, but it wasn’t quite right and then I ran out of Saskatoon berries. However, now I have perfected it!

    🥘Ingredients

    You will need the following ingredients for these Saskatoon berry muffins:

    Ingredients in Saskatoon berry muffins in glass dishes, labelled
    • all-purpose flour 
    • brown sugar
    • baking powder
    • cinnamon
    • salt
    • eggs
    • vegetable oil
    • coconut milk I use light
    • Saskatoon berries (Juneberries)
    • lemon zest (optional)
    • sparkling sugar(optional)

    *See recipe card for quantities.

    🔪Instructions

    dry ingredients in bowl with wooden spoon

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F/190 degrees C.

    In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon.

    wet ingredients mixed together in glass bowl, with whisk

    In a separate medium bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, and coconut milk.

    dry ingredients with Saskatoon ingredients, mixed together in glass bowl , with wooden spoon

    Add Saskatoon berries to dry ingredients.

    wet ingredients and dry ingredients mixed together into a batter, in glass bowl, with wooden spoon

    Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients; mix just until moistened.

    batter in lined muffin pans

    Spoon muffin batter into paper lined muffin tins

    Move to a wire rack to cool and sprinkle with lemon zest and sparkling sugar, dividing ingredients evenly between muffins, if desired. *The lemon zest really balances the sweet muffin and the sparkling sugar makes it look sparkly and inviting!

    📖Variations & Substitutions

    • Saskatoon berries -you can use fresh Saskatoon berries or frozen Saskatoons. *If you use frozen berries, make sure to defrost them and drain off excess liquid before you measure! Learn how to freeze Saskatoon berries HERE! Alternatively, you could use blueberries and turn these into blueberry muffins.
    • WW friendly- If you want to make these Saskatoon berry muffins WW friendly, use apple sauce in place of the oil and reduce the sugar to ⅔ cup. You can also use a sugar substitute (monk fruit is 1:1 )
    • Lemon zest - alternatively, you could bake the lemon zest right into the muffin. Just add it when you add the Saskatoon berries to the dry ingredients.

    🍽Equipment

    You will need a muffin tin (affiliate link) and a large mixing bowl, a mixing spoon, and large muffin cups for this Saskatoon recipe.
