Berry nice muffins

I came across this recipe for berry muffins on the back of a box of Weet-Bix this week. It interested me because it seems like a back-to-front recipe for muffins; the wet mix is added to the dry mix, instead of the other way around. I modified it (of course), using half the amount of berries and adding white chocolate chips which, I figured, would be balanced out by using Weet-Bix and wholemeal flour. I also didn't see the point in sifting wholemeal flour; the best bits are left behind in the sieve, so I just threw it all in. The final product was smaller than I expected, and quite heavy ... but oh so delicious with coffee.
