What ingredients do I need to make this recipe?
- All-purpose flour
- Light brown sugar
- Baking soda
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Eggs
- Unsalted Butter
- Nonfat Greek Yogurt
- Lemon
- Vanilla
- Blackberries (fresh or frozen)
- Powdered Sugar
Can I use a different type of flour?
I have personally only used all-purpose flour for this recipe, so I can’t vouch for any other type of flour!
Should I use fresh or frozen berries?
Either works! It doesn’t make a difference for this recipe. If you are using frozen, don’t thaw them out before using them.
Can I use a different berry?
Yes! I love this recipe with the blackberries, but raspberries or blueberries would also work.
Can I use salted butter?
Ok look, I’m no professional baker. BUT sometimes I use salted butter instead of unsalted for baking if it’s all I have. I don’t really notice much of a difference, but I have not done it specifically for this recipe so the real answer is, I don’t know!
How to make these muffins:
1) Preheat the oven to 400 F.
2) In a medium bowl, mix together the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt)
3) In a large bowl, beat the eggs, butter, yogurt, lemon juice, and vanilla. Beat until mixture is smooth.
4) Slowly pour the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, stirring as you go. Stir until jut combined, do not over mix!
5) Next, fold in the halved blackberries and lemon zest until evenly distributed throughout the batter. Be careful not to let the blackberries bleed too much, be gentle!
6) In a well greased muffin tin, distribute the batter into each cup, filling them to the top.
7) Bake for 15-18 minutes, until a toothpick can be inserted and comes out clean.
8) Remove from oven and let cool.
9) While muffins cool, make the lemon glaze by mixing together the powdered sugar and lemon juice. Drizzle onto muffins when cool.
