Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon milk
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick, melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 oz blackberries (cut in half if large)
- ⅓ cup pecans (chopped)
- 1 ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (for streusel)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for streusel)
- ⅔ cup brown sugar (for streusel)
- ½ cup flour (for streusel)
- ½ cup oatmeal (for streusel)
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter (melted, for streusel)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a muffin pan with paper liners.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a large bowl, mix the eggs, sour cream, milk, both sugars, melted butter, and vanilla using an electric mixer.
- The batter will be very thick, and that’s normal.
- Gently mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a few light strokes. Don’t overmix.
- Lightly coat the blackberries in a bit of flour.
- Fold the blackberries into the batter. This helps keep them from sinking.
- The batter should look slightly lumpy, not smooth.
- Divide the batter evenly between the muffin liners.
- In a bowl, mix all streusel ingredients until crumbly.
- Sprinkle evenly over each muffin and press down lightly.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Feel free to substitute other berries if desired.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- These muffins freeze well; wrap tightly and store in the freezer.
