Bakery Style Blackberry Muffins

Published January 11, 2021 | Julia Frey (Vikalinka)

Jump to Recipe

These bakery style blackberry muffins with a streusel topping are soft and buttery and a  cinch to make. Make a batch and store them in your freezer for a quick treat on the go!

Serve these beauties with our Spiced Chai Tea Latte for a cozy breakfast or brunch.

I don’t bake nearly as much as I used to and mostly because we are quite health-conscious in this house. I never want to have loads of baked goods laying around, that are just so dang tempting!

I’ve written many posts about our love for wild blackberry foraging, and this past summer we were especially industrious. The evidence for which you’d see as soon as you open our freezer. 

Abundance of wild blackberries resulted in many recipes. Victoria Sponge Cake with Blackberry Compote and Blackberry Fool are some of our favourites. You can even use blackberries in savoury recipes like this Spatchcock Chicken with Spicy Blackberry Sauce.

Blackberry Muffin Recipe

Soft and buttery crumb studded with plump blackberries, which turn into jammy pools of sweetness with a hint of summer, then topped with brown sugar streusel. Are you tempted yet?

These muffins disappear in a hurry in our house. My kids are not breakfast eaters but they definitely eat these, which is a big incentive for me to keep baking them!

The recipe for the muffins is pretty straightforward. There are two things, which make it more special than the rest. 

  • Yogurt in the batter makes the muffins incredible soft and fluffy.
  • Streusel topping takes them another level of taste, texture and visual appeal. 

The recipe I am sharing today is pretty much failproof. I’ve used it for nearly two decades. It’s also very versatile and flexible for a couple of reasons. 

  • Use any yogurt you have on hand (yes, even flavoured or low fat)
  • Fresh or Frozen blackberries work equally well
  • ANY berries can be used in place blackberries
  • You can skip the streusel topping to reduce the calories and they will still taste amazing!

Can I freeze them?

Not too many things make me feel more organised than a freezer full of goodies. These blackberry muffins freezer beautifully. Simply put them in a ziplock bag and store frozen for up to 1 month. 

The best way to bring them back to life is to thaw for about 20 minutes on a countertop, then put them in a preheated to 350F/180C oven for 5 minutes or air fryer for 2 minutes.

They will taste freshly baked!

    Where do you buy that size cupcake cup which appears taller than mine which spread out more? I didn’t think these turned out light at all and followed the recipe exactly. Didn’t know if it was my standard muffin cup since yours appear taller.

      Hi Twinee, the cupcake size shouldn’t affect the texture of these muffins. I bought mine in a supermarket but you can use regular cupcake liners with the same success. I’ve been using this recipe for a couple of decades now and they turn out delicious each time.

    Love these muffins!!!
    I made 3 different kinds and they all turned out amazing.
    I added blueberries to the blackberries, such a great combo. I also did chocolate chip and banana nut.
    I used vanilla yogurt and just used less of the vanilla.
    Thank you for sharing this recipe I can’t wait to try other fruits like cranberry and cherry!!!

    I made them yesterday and they turned out really well. I used both blueberry yogurt and Greek yogurt, nice texture. My partner was very impressed. I am making them again to bring to a Senior’s Center and to my neighbour. This time I will use vanilla yogurt.

    I used vanilla Greek yogurt because I didn’t have any vanilla in the house. They turned out fabulously with both blackberries and blueberries.

    I made these today and was rewarded with a batch of super delicious muffins! I did double the amount of berries (couldn’t help myself) and added a teaspoon of cinnamon but otherwise followed the recipe as written. Definitely a keeper. Thanks for sharing!!

        Today I will be making this recipe at work for a “High Children’s Tea” at work for 65 children and their parents. I normally never make something for an event without testing it but I’m counting on the feed back from the comments above and a prayer. I will be making cranberry walnut(with a fresh cranberry sauce I made the other day scented with orange zest) wild blueberry muffins and a Apple spice muffins. I will take pics and comment later on.
