Chef's notes
Experiment with different fruit and flavor combinations, but do not exceed 1 1/2 cups of any combination, or muffins may fall apart.
For blackberry-orange flavor, omit cinnamon, add 1/4 cup fresh orange juice to the wet ingredients, and 1 tablespoon orange zest to the dry ingredients. Use 1 1/2 cups blackberries, and top with orange-sugar.
Other flavor ideas include espresso chocolate chip, cherry almond, ginger peach, fruit + chocolate, and fruit + nut variations.
