Blackberry muffins

5.00

Easy and delicious, this blackberry muffin recipe can be ready to eat in just 45 minutes. Best enjoyed warm from the oven, they make a delicious breakfast or brunch. They are also a lovely recipe to try baking with children, especially if you're picking the blackberries yourself.

These muffins are a great way of using up a blackberry glut. Obviously similar to the popular blueberry muffin, we find the tartness of a blackberry isn't quite as sweet. Best enjoyed fresh, the muffins make a great breakfast or snack. Add a pinch of ground cinnamon, cloves or allspice if you're a fan of a little warming spice. Keep in an airtight container if storing overnight (if they last that long!)
