Blackberry Muffins




Pssst… you know what the secret is to making the best blackberry muffins?
Muffins that are rich, tender, and loaded with blackberries?
No, it’s not the butter (though butter makes everything better IMHO).
If your guess is it has something to do with the type of berries, you’re close. Wild blackberries do make the best pies, muffins, and cakes. But you can only get those a couple months of the year.
No, the secret to making the best muffins is sour cream! Rich and tangy sour cream not only intensifies the flavor of the berries, but makes the muffins irresistibly tender and delicious.
This blackberry muffin recipe is one of my favorite recipes on the site. Easy to put together and perfect for breakfast or a Sunday brunch.
