Berry yummy muffins

These healthy berry muffins are deliciously moist and one's just not enough=) Naturally sweetened by honey, the tartness of the berries cut through and gives these muffins a real zing. Replacing half the amount of flour with almond meal and the other half with self-raising wholemeal flour really contributed to their moist texture. But don't worry if you don't have these ingredients lying in your kitchen..just use normal flour. This recipe called for oil, so i used olive oil, which gave it a unique flavour. So easypeasy and totally fuss-free that i make them almost every week.
The recipe:
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons orange juice
Zest of 1 orange

1 cup almond meal
1 cup self-raising wholemeal flour
1/2 cup milk
1 cup frozen mixed berries

Oven- 180 celcius
Whisk eggs, oil, honey, orange juice and zest in a large bowl. (whisk gently initially to avoid splaterring oil all over).
Mix in almond meal.
Add in wholemeal flour and mix until the mixture is just combined. Be sure not to over-mix otherwise you'll have tough muffins.
Fill 1/3 of your muffin cups and scatter a few berries over the batter. Then spoon more of the mixture on top until the cups are filled 3/4 of the way.
Bake them for about 20 minutes until they are firm to the touch and golden brown on top. Leave to cool.
