Fresh Blackberry Muffins – Bread of the Month!

It’s blackberry season here in the Pacific Northwest – and we have a plethora of varietals! The Marion berry is the premier Oregon berry and it has a short season. It is a cross between the Chehalem and Olallie blackberries – fat and juicy and sweet!!

We were given a bowl of these gems that were getting a bit past their prime, so I made up a batch of muffins and blackberry jam [7].  I made enough to share them with our neighbor who gave the berries to us. And the muffins came out delicious!

And so, the bread of the month is this recipe – small little bites of sweet goodness!

Here’s How to Do it:

First, preheat the oven to 400°

Next, just like any other muffin, sift together the dry ingredients, then add the brown and white sugars, mixing well.

Beat the egg, yogurt, cream, water and vanilla together, then slowly pour into the dry mix.

Next, stir the mixture into the dry ingredients until are just wet and no more. Be careful not to over mix.

Gently stir in the berries and walnuts (nuts are optional), then let it all rest a few minutes – perfect time to get the muffin tins ready.

Place muffin liners in each of the tin pockets and fill each liner half way with the batter.

Now bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Allow to cool and enjoy! These are great with butter or without and will melt in your mouth, filling your taste buds with bursts of flavor!
