I agree with a few others on here - I don't make muffins much, but for scones I always mix up my dry ingredients first, then toss my frozen (or fresh) berries in the the bowl with the dry ingredients before stirring in the wet mixture. I have found that, for scones at least, stirring in berries at the end a) either leads to over mixing (not a problem if you add them to dry mixture) or b) doesn't distribute the berries evenly or c) makes it too easy to smash the berries, especially delicate berries like brambles. Anyway you do it, though, they always taste great despite how they look!
