Blackberries just make my summer! And these Blackberry Muffins will make your morning a little brighter.
The recipe for Blackberry Bread is one of my most popular summer recipes. I love that bread, but sometimes I want something that’s a little easier to grab and go with. So I converted that delicious bread into these delicious muffins!
I mash the blackberries a little bit before I put them in the batter. That just breaks them up a bit so you don’t have quite as big blackberry pieces in your muffins. I just use a nylon potato masher (like this one) in a large bowl.
I used a muffin pan that makes 6 large muffins, instead of 12 cupcake-size muffins. I’m also thinking of making these in my mini-muffin pan. What do you think? One or two blackberries pressed into the center of the batter? And dip them in some Greek yogurt or this Quick Vanilla Fruit Dip? Yum!
Enjoy!
