Description

These big soft muffins are stuffed with juicy blackberries and orange zest!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Grated Orange Zest
  • 1-½ teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 2 cups Fresh Blackberries (or Blueberries Or Raspberries)
  • 1 stick Butter, Softened
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • ½ cups Milk
  • Vanilla Sugar Or Granulated Sugar, Optional, For Sprinkling On Top Of Muffins

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375F.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, orange zest, baking powder, salt and cinnamon together. Gently add the blackberries and stir so that the berries are covered with flour. Set aside.

Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the eggs, one by one, until thoroughly combined. Add the milk and blend.

Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and toss gently, being careful not to crush the berries. Scoop batter into 12 greased muffin tins sprinkle vanilla sugar (or regular granulated sugar) over the tops.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until the tops are golden. Let cool for five minutes in the tins then pop out and cool completely.

I made these muffins this morning and there seems to be a discrepency in the amount of sugar. The Tasty Kitchen recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar, but if you go to the EatLiveRun blog it only calls for ONE cup of sugar. Don’t make the same mistake I did and add the two cups of sugar because your muffins will fall in, instead of rising.

Oh, my this recipe is right up my alley. I love the combo of blackberries and orange and cinnamon. Can I use frozen blackberries? I’m slightly snowed in and don’t have access to fresh right now, but I’d love to make those this weekend. Thanks for your reply :)

Betcha this would be great with a mix of berries. I just remembered that I have blackberries, red raspberries and blueberries in my freezer and a bunch of oranges in the fridge. They are starting to call to me for this recipe.

Yum! I used frozen blackberries and fresh blueberries along with a couple drops of Wild Orange essential oil from DoTERRA. My husband ate three tonight and he’s the most particular person I know when it comes to muffins. I’ll definitely be making these again!

The taste and texture of the muffins was perfect. My kids didn’t like the blackberry seeds though so next time I will try cooking the blackberries and straining out the seeds then marbling the purée into each muffin.

I made these this morning using frozen black currant and ran out of cinnamon so used a bit of allspice, which actually added a really nice flavor that cinnamon wouldn’t have added. Turned out really great! Though, I recommend thawing any frozen berries first so they won’t give off too much liquid as mine did. Thanks for the recipe!
