Ingredients
For the Muffins:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
For the Oatmeal Streusel:
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the blackberries.
- For the streusel, combine the oats, flour, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with the batter. Sprinkle the oatmeal streusel evenly over the tops of the muffins.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
If using frozen blackberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent color bleeding.
For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free flour blend designed for baking.
Muffins can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months.
