In a small bowl, stir together berries and syrup. In a large bowl, mix together dry ingredients, then add milk, egg, and butter, stirring until just combined. Add berries. Fill each cup to just below the top of the center well. Bake for about 10 minutes, until tops spring back.
Let cool 5 minutes before removing from pan, if you can. Eat as is or dip in chocolate glaze if you're feeling sassy.
