HERE IS THE RECIPE: I had to copy down the recipe from a screenshot so I could make it. Thought I would share. 1 cup all purpose flour 2 tbsp flax seed 2 tsp ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 cup honey 1 cup (8 oz) greek yogurt 1 cup whole wheat flour 1 tbsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 eggs 1/2 mashed banana 1 chopped apple (can use applesauce) 1/3 cup frozen huckleberries (or blueberries or serviceberries) Topping Ingredients: 1/4 cup brown sugar 3 tbsp whole wheat flour 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tbsp flax seed 2 tbsp cold butter Directions: Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. In another, beat the eggs, honey yogurt and banana. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in apples and berries. Fill greased or paper lined muffin cups, 2/3 full. Combine topping dry ingredients, cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbles. Sprinkle a rounded teaspoonful over each muffin. Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to wire rack. Serve Warm. Yields 16 muffins.

It seriously warms my heart whenever I see you spend time with Benjamin. I can't imagine how happy they will be in the future for all those wonderful, child memories you gifted them! I thankfully also have fond memories of my mother when I was young, running around in the garden helping her out! I remember gathering yellow daisies for her so we could dye our eggs in easter! Or sitting hours long outside enjoying the gorgeous show (and smell) of our sweatpeas, which were her favourite flowers. God bless you Laura, you are doing an absolute wonderful job raising them both! Wish the world had more people like you and Aaron! 🤍

I went to college with Aaron in Southern California, he had to be 18 or 19 back then, we set up A.V. equipment for a conference center together...funny to come across him on this channel.

I was told years ago where the name "Serviceberry" came from. Back in the day when people couldn't bury their dead because the ground was frozen, they would watch to see when the serviceberry bloomed. They would know then the ground was thawed enough, they could have a service for their loved one.

I live in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada (zone 3) so we call them Saskatoon berries here! I have them along my driveway between mine and my neighbour's house. They're the bush variety and get quite big. The birds get the berries from the top of the bush that I can't reach and I get the rest. We have an understanding 😂

Five minutes after this video ends and I'm out for the first time harvesting the serviceberries off the tree I planted eight years ago, while the birds are in the branches chewing me out! Thanks Laura!

I literally cheered when Benjamin cut the whole way through the apple!! We planted an Autumn Brilliance last year and just love it.

Doug Tallamy has done some interesting research on this. In short, the native species is almost always more beneficial to the ecosystem than cultivars. Cultivars can be less attractive or less nourishing to wildlife.

Benjamin’s face while cutting the apple, priceless!! So fun, this video has my heart!!

I have a two year old boy named Benjamin and a brand new 8 week old Gabriel! (And a husband named Aaron!) We watched this video this morning and he immediately had us make muffins with the fruit in our garden. We have been gardening with you for over a year now and I’m so overjoyed to have found you. A dream of mine was to have a garden with my kids, and your channel got me over my fear of my yard! From everything we’ve learned from you, we’ve grown a vegetable garden, fruit containers, a cut garden, a shade garden and beautified our lawn (Thanks Aaron)! Next up is trees and perennials this fall and drip irrigation!!!! Thank you for all you both do and the way you do it.

I'm a passionate gardening senior who has been following your channel for many years. I have taken on a volunteer project to rejuvenate the courtyard garden space in a Long Term Care home, where my 96 year old Mom-in-law has been receiving compassionate care for over two years. Today, my husband and I just delivered an Autumn Brilliance serviceberry tree that we will plant in the garden. This tree was my #1 choice for a particular space - I discovered your video after buying the tree. I am sharing the muffin recipe with the Life Enrichment staff at the home,. When the tree matures enough, Residents and Staff can bake muffins together with the berries from their own tree. Your videos have been a big part of inspiring me to do this garden renovation. I am so happy to give back in this way, it brings me such joy. Thanks for all you do, and best wishes to your lovely family. Marcia Blom, Ottawa, Ontario Canada

Watching Benjamin helping is a balm for the soul. I love it when he saw the bowl of berries. Priceless!

I grew up eating these berries in Russia. They were always so welcome in early summer. I love the look of the tree and have enjoyed it in my yard in Virginia for years. Unfortunately they are not disease resistant on the East Coast. Rust is what affected my tree and the berries are inedible. Thank you for the video! I am glad you are sharing this tree with so many people.

One of the former governors wives had undertaken a beautiful landscaping project of the grounds and had Serviceberry trees planted. They were beautiful and I made sure to plant one in my own garden when I got the chance. I highly recommend these beautiful trees.

We just planted two Robin Hill Serviceberry trees. We planted them to feed the birds. I love feeding and watching my birds. Very interesting to learn I can pick some to eat also. I will be looking for the shorter serviceberry now.

At the nursery where I used to work, we sold so many Serviceberry trees, single and multi- trunk. It's wonderful understory tree at the edge of the woods here - NW Indiana. We have many that grow natively, too. Here, it's often called Shadblow, because it fruits in June "when the shad (a northern fish) run. Loved watching Benjamin help you bake, adorable.

When Laura was mixing the streusel and the bowl of serviceberries caught Benjamin's eye 😆

Benjamin's expressions are so precious. He looked so serious and worried when you handed him the egg in the chicken coop.☺️

Shad-blow because they bloom at the same time as the shad run, that is, when the shad swim up the river to spawn. When I lived in eastern NC, shad row was an early spring treat. (I have an amelanchior near the back of my house here in upstate NY- one of the first things I planted - and you're right that it gives so much pleasure year round.)

We have been feasting on service berries from our tree for a couple of weeks! We pruned it into multi-trunk form and it is a really pretty little tree. Usually, the birds eat them all, but this year we netted the tree. I just took the net off to use elsewhere. I think I will go out and pick some to dry before the birds get them. Wish me luck!

I planted a serviceberry last fall, this spring it bloom and had berries, then the farmer across from me nailed it with some Roundup spray on a windy day spraying his field. I'm so sad I had wanted one for years. I guess I will start over and plant it in the backyard this time.

Hi Laura! Just loved the recipe for the serviceberries. I planted a serviceberry shrub in my garden in Berlin, Germany but never used the berries so far because there are just not a lot of recipe ideas around. Will try the muffin recipe for sure (hope to find all the other ingredients here :) Being a all city kid, I learned so much out of you videos for my own gardening. Thank you for that! It is really helpful for me that you also refer to the botanical names of all the plants. The German names tend to differ a lot from time to time (serviceberry = Felsenbirne - it doesn’t even have the word “berry” in it…)

Can you share the recipe for the muffins?

He’s not only a good helper, but someday he’s going to be grateful for those memories and the knowledge his mother imparted on him. He will bake with and for his loved ones and remember mom for the rest of his life. ❤

I planted an Autumn Brilliance amelanchier several years back. It's in an area that's difficult for me to access now. I wonder how it's doing, lol. This was the first year I wasn't able to feed the birds and surprise, one of my cherry trees actually has a few ripe cherries for the first time ever, just because the birds didn't flock to my yard and eat them all green. You talk about moving and that would be my dream, too, to move to a property that's flat, not a steep hillside, and where the deer aren't an issue. As I got older, I have realized how important accessibility is in order to keep doing the things you love. Too bad I wasn't thinking about that 20 years ago, lol. All the work you and Aaron have done putting in wide paths, irrigation systems, etc. on your flat property is so smart and is going to really help you, or future owners, enjoy your property well into old age. Kudos to you!

I'm one of those people who've never heard of these berries and reading up on them they are very high in Vitamin c!Most fruits have more pectin in them if they are just underipe which is good for jam making !

I thought serviceberries are inedible to humans and are just for birds or other foraging animals....we don't have it here in our place..

The jam is absolutely delicious!

I’ve never heard of service berries. My Mom had a crab apple tree which reminds me of your service berry tree. It would make the most beautiful crab apple jelly. In October I am ordering a crab apple tree to plant in my yard. I’m going to check into service berry trees.

Me before watching the episode….never heard of a service berry tree. Me after watching the episode ….must have service berry tree. Thank you Laura! 😉

Anyone else an adult but wish Laura was their mom when they were younger? 😂😂😂 Benjamin & Sammantha Grace are so lucky!

Nope, happy and blessed for the one I got (had, she’s gone many years now) but auntie, sister, cousin, friend, niece, neighbour …😊

I love my serviceberry-it’s the first thing I ever planted 20 years ago. A couple weeks ago we were outside and I was taking to my husband about how the berries were almost ripe and the birds would be fighting over them soon. He asked how I knew they were almost ripe and I popped one in my mouth and said, “not bad!” He almost had a heart attack that I ate a potentially wild and poisonous berry 😂. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Now that I know what you can do with them, the birds probably will only get a few next year!

I watched for ages thinking I’d never heard of this Berry until you mentioned the other names. I grew up with two amelanchier trees in the garden and never knew (or even thought to look up) that they were edible, I feel both dense and amazed! We just loved them for blossom and foliage and that birds loved them. I’ve just sent my mum a message to say she should try and beat the birds to some this year. Amazing thing to learn after all this time - thank you!

Oh my goodness, I absolutely love that you guys made something with berries and eggs grown on your own property! We just bought our first home back in January and I found your channel shortly after. I've always loved flowers and plants, but since my husband is military we have always rented and I could never really do much planting and gardening. Ever since buying our home and finding your channel, you have given me SO MUCH inspiration and wisdom. For the first time I have a beautiful garden in the making. We have deck planters and hanging baskets around our gazebo that are starting to fill out and be glorious. I have a fruit and veggie garden that is thriving and even producing already. We also have a mini orchard with a few fruit trees... And of course a bunch of plans for many garden beds 🤣 It's been so much fun and exciting and we are really enjoying the beauty everything brings. I've also loved teaching my little ones! Thank you so much for making these videos and sharing your experience and knowledge and giving us all inspiration. Because of that we are blessed with joy in our own yards. Now I want a serviceberry and chickens 🤣🙈 how big do serviceberries get when they're mature though? Do they stay about the size in your videos? Thinking I'll plant one for my backyard birds and one for us ❤️

"Hulk Smash," or rather in this case, "Benjamin Smash!" Too too cute! I miss those days with my kiddos, cherish every moment. I didnt see the recipe, should we email you to get it? I guess I can screenshot the paper as you held it up. Thanks so much for all you do for the gardening community, I learn something in every video!

Never heard of service berries! In Kansas here. We have sand plums here with lots of thorns!
