Triple Berry Cake Mix Muffins

These Triple Berry Cake Mix Muffins are bursting with fresh or frozen berries and are one of the easiest perfect muffins you'll ever make.

Our muffins are made starting with a cake mix with the addition of instant lemon or vanilla pudding, they bake up moist and tender.

Perfect for a red, white, and blue Patriotic Holiday party or just because they're so delicious!

They're even great as a dessert muffin just by adding a scoop of your favorite ice cream and a dollop of whipped cream.

The recipe comes together quickly using an electric mixer, folding in the berries, and baking in cupcake tins with or without liners.

I really love how interchangeable these muffins are and you can adapt them to any fruits you prefer using the same amount specified in this recipe.

We even included a streusel topping if you prefer a touch of delicious cinnamon-style coffee cake muffins!

Berry Filling Recipe

I just got some wonderful fresh berries from my Blackberry and Raspberry bushes. I decided to make some berry filling that could be used in pies, topping for ice cream, added to pound cakes with whipped cream or even a filling for a turnover with puff pastry. This was a great filling I will make time and time again!

 Berry Filling Recipe :

(note I had lots of berries cut the recipe in half for less)

1 cup sugar or more if you like sweeter by taste

4 cups raspberries

3 cups blackberries (you can use blueberries also if you want triple berries I would do 3 cups red 2 cups black and 1 cup blue )

3 tablespoons cornstarch

2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca

1/4 teaspoon each salt and cinnamon

1 tablespoon butter

water if needed

Puree 1 cup berries combined or just the raspberries set aside.


In a medium saucepan add the puree, cornstarch, and tapioca. Place on medium heat. When it starts to boil add the sugar until dissolved and start to thicken it's just a few minutes. Add the salt, cinnamon, and butter. Fold in the berries gently. If too thick add a little water.


Use on cakes, cheesecake topping, two crusted pies on ice cream, tarts, cookies, turnovers or anything else you like.
