Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line the muffin pan with the paper liners. Set aside.
Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and stir to evenly blend.
2 cups all purpose flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt
In a smaller bowl or larger measuring cup, whisk together the milk, eggs, butter and vanilla extract.
1/2 cup milk, 2 eggs, 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix the batter.
Gently fold in the blackberries. Some may break and that’s okay, but the goal is to have full, plump, juicy blackberries in every muffin.
6 ounces blackberries
Fill each well of the muffin pan about 2/3rds full with batter. I use about 1/4 cup per muffin.
Bake 18-20 minutes or until the muffins are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Tips and Techniques
- You can add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter, if you prefer.
- If you’d like to top your muffins with a streusel, do so before baking.
- Store extra muffins in a single layer with a paper towel over the tops in an airtight container at room temperature. Consume within 3-5 days.
