Blackberry Sour Cream Muffins

in Bread/Rolls, Desserts, Recipes

Blackberries are always a special treat for me!  When I was seven we lived in Washington and could pick wild blackberries.  They were so fresh and sweet that most of them ended up in my mouth instead of the bucket!  I still love blackberries and when Bountiful Baskets included them I could not wait to eat some.  I did, however, save some for these muffins, which are a family favorite.  I hope you enjoy them too!

    I just made these today. They are very good. I was surprised at how thick the the batter was. I think next time I will try a little lemon zest to add a little something extra.

    Thank you for posting.

    Made your muffins with one container of our blackberries. Very good! I am thinking of subbing some whole wheat flour for the AP next time. Either way, I will hang onto this as it looks like it could be pretty versatile.

    I just ran out of blackberries, but I do have some blueberries. Can I substitute equal amounts of blueberries for the blackberries or do I need a few more? Would you recommend frozen or fresh?
