Blackberry Mini-Muffins or Mini-Cupcakes - You Decide! image

Blackberries. I love their sweetness and their tartness. I grabbed a few packages for a buck at the store last week. And I just had to make some muffins, or are they cupcakes? I'm not sure what to call them. Because they really could be both. They are that versatile. Now scroll through the delicious-ness and then help me figure out where these little goodies belong in the next cookbook!

Time 26m

Yield 24 mini muffins or 12 regular muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup milk
2 cups white flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups blackberries, halved
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 24 mini-muffin tin with cooking spray.
  • Slice the blackberries in half and place in a bowl with the lemon juice.
  • Add the sugar and toss away. But do so lightly. You don't want to hurt the blackberries!
  • Try your best not to eat 'em up!
  • Prepare the batter in a stand mixer or mixing bowl with hand mixer by beating the butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla and milk until smooth. Then add the flour, baking soda and salt and beat until smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes. Pour some batter into each of the mini muffin wells. Fill about 1/4 full.
  • Add 2 blackberry halves to each well.
  • Be sure to not let too much of the liquid from the blackberry bowl get into the batter. A little is fine.
  • Pour the remaining batter over the top of the blackberries. (I don't mean to SWAY your vote, but this batter was VERY much like cake batter!).
  • Fill up the muffin tins. All the way full is fine!
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 14 to 16 minutes, or until cooked through!
  • Let cool on cooling rack. Enjoy!

I love these muffins! They're so easy to make and they always turn out perfectly. The streusel topping is my favorite part. I like to add a little extra cinnamon and sugar to the streusel for an extra sweet treat.

These muffins were a disappointment. The batter was too runny and the muffins didn't rise properly. They also had a strange aftertaste. I won't be making these again.

Meh, these muffins were just okay. They were a bit dry and the streusel topping was too crumbly. I think I'll stick to my old muffin recipe.
