I also make this muffin recipe using rhubarb and raspberries too!
While geocaching at the beach on Canada Day we stumbled upon a Saskatoon tree. We just had to pick them! They are very similar to blueberries but with more seeds and not quite as sweet. So we improvised and used Isaiah’s hat as a bucket and I whipped these up when we got home.
Some of our favorite muffin recipes that you simply have to try are: Avocado & Banana Muffin Recipe, Rhubarb Muffin Recipe and Double Chocolate Chip Muffins.
Ingredients needed to make these muffins:

Topping:

- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup butter, cubed
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
How to make this saskatoon muffin recipe:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Place vegetable oil into a 1 cup measuring cup; add the egg and enough milk to fill the cup. Mix this with flour mixture. Fold in fruit. Fill muffin cups right to the top, and sprinkle with crumb topping mixture.
3. To Make Crumb Topping: Mix together sugar, flour, butter, and cinnamon. Mix with fork, and sprinkle over muffins before baking.
4. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, or until done.
We take this recipe camping too. I pre-measure and package all of the ingredients before combining while camping and baking in our new Coleman Oven. You could also bake them slowly over the campfire in a foil muffin tin. Just be sure to adjust the baking time as necessary and watch that the bottoms don’t burn.

Since I’m originally from Saskatoon I have a weak spot for Saskatoons! They tend to be smaller than blueberries and actually have a blue/purple flesh and stain your clothes WAY worse than blueberries! LOL I found that out the hard way :) These muffins look so good!!!
Very disappointed. Was all set to make recipe, then found it calls for rhubarb!! Why do you call it Saskatoon muffins???☹️
Sorry! Typo… all fixed :)
I’m from Michigan and had never heard of this berry till we started watching Heartland on Netflix. I didn’t see where you might have taken out the seeds. You said there are more seeds. So would you put these and how do you go about that?
I left the seeds in, they cook down just fine :) You could cook and strain the berries but its not needed.
