Welcome back for the finale of our Cooking with Astrology “Virgo” meal. These Blackberry Muffins with Lemon Glaze are absolutely delicious!!! I love the texture and flavor. These are truly bakery style muffins. I think it has something to do with beating the butter and sugar together for 4 minutes!
Let’s be honest, how many of you actually do that when you make muffins? I haven’t in the past, but I sure will now.
These muffins remind me of a sponge cake. They hold together really well and have just the right amount of blackberries, and the glaze…perfect!
How to make Blackberry Muffins with Lemon Glaze:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper liners. I used these Tulip Baking Cups. {affiliate link}
In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In another large bowl, beat together granulated sugar and butter until light and fluffy with a hand mixer, about 4 minutes…..
Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating well to combine. Stir in the milk and vanilla…..
The butter and milk separate a bit, but don’t worry, it will all mix together in a minute. 😉
Slowly add the flour mixture, blend well…..
Gently fold in the blackberries…..
Scoop or spoon the batter into muffin cups, to about 2/3rds full…..
Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center…..
Lay a sheet of wax paper under a wire cooling rack. Place muffins on rack and allow to cool.
Whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice together in a small bowl to make the glaze. Drizzle over muffins and serve…..

Sometimes recipes just seem perfect in my mind and I can even visualize them and then when they flop I’m so annoyed with how much I wasted! Blackberries have been so yummy lately. I bet these muffins were divine!
Seana Turner says
Yum! I love blackberries and baking. So much of your page is making my mouth water. I’m fascinated by the coconut milk in a box – you can just substitute that 1-1 for regular milk?

Rhonda @wine-y wife says
I’ve done a few fruit muffins before, but never blackberry. Since we’re about to have blackberries coming out of our ears I’ll have to try these out and see how the kids like them…who am I kidding? Who doesn’t like muffins?

I love blackberries!!! I am cheap though & only buy frozen so getting fresh ones are a treat, I think I would eat them all before they went in the batter! Thanks for sharing at Sweet & Savory Saturdays #29.
