Description
Moist muffins topped with a crunchy streusel and filled with fresh blackberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blackberries
- For the Streusel:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the softened butter and mix with a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the fresh blackberries.
- Prepare the streusel: In a small bowl, combine the flour and brown sugar. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the batter in each cup.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra burst of flavor, you can add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the muffin batter.
- If you don’t have fresh blackberries, frozen ones can be used, but do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
- Ensure your butter for the streusel is cold for the best crumbly texture.
