Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F or 200 degrees C. Butter muffin tin and set aside.

In another bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and salt. Add in the dry ingredients in the wet ingredients mixing well until combined, but be careful not to over mix the batter. Use a spatula and mix well the mixed berries in the batter. With the help of an ice cream scoop, scoop out of the batter and fill muffin cups ¾ of the way full. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool them completely.
