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 make a great breakfast, snack or dessert!
