Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
• 1 unit Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Fresh blackberries
• 2 tablespoons Turbinado sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be thick.

Step 5

Gently fold in the fresh blackberries, being cautious not to crush them too much.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle a pinch of turbinado sugar on top of each muffin for a crunchy topping.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy these muffins warm or at room temperature—they're perfect with a cup of tea or coffee!
