Blackberry Buttermilk Muffins with Cinnamon Streusel

Arrow


Enjoy these delicious moist muffins with bits of berry in every bite! You can use raspberries if blackberries are unavailable.

Makes 15-20 muffins

Directions

1.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

2.

To make the streusel, add flour, light brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and cubed cold butter to a bowl. Crumble the mixture together with your fingers until a “sandy” texture is formed. There should be some pea sized crumbs of streusel.

3.

To make the buttermilk, add one tablespoon of white vinegar to a one cup measuring cup. Fill the cup the rest of the way with milk. Let it sit for five minutes- it will look curdled and add a nice tang and flavour to the muffins!

4.

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the cornstarch and flour. Add the sugar, baking powder, and salt, and whisk to combine.

5.

Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients, and to the well add the buttermilk, oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk lightly with a whisk to break up the egg, switch to a spatula, and gently fold the dry into the wet ingredients in the centre. Mix the batter just until combined.

6.

Lightly spray muffin liners with nonstick spray. Fill each about a quarter full with batter, add some blackberries, and more batter on top. Top with another blackberry and a generous heaping of streusel.

7.

Bake for 25–30 minutes (depending on your oven), until muffin tops are set. 

Tips:

If you are using smaller muffin containers, you can fill the cups with batter and only add blackberries to the top. With taller moulds, I like adding blackberries in the centre as well.

Notes:

Per the recommendation of the OU, blackberries and raspberries must be inspected individually over a white cloth or lightbox. If insects are found, none of the berries in the container may be used.
