Add the above ingredients to the creamed mixture and blend well.

Add the fruit mixture and slowly incorporate until well blended.

Using an ice-cream scooper, fill each lined muffin almost to the top. It should fill about 27 muffins. Bake 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until inserted, sharp knife comes out clean.
