Thank you for your recipe for Huckleberry muffins. I tried it this morning. How much vanilla do you use? I do like to be a bit more generous with my my Huckleberries but these are pretty darn tasty and easy to make!
Thanks Tammy! I usually use 1 tsp vanilla! That’s a pretty good amount to taste 🙂 Hope you enjoy!
What if I am using frozen huckleberries? Should I thaw them?
You can use them frozen! No need to thaw them first 🙂
