Bakery style muffins studded with blackberries and topped with a lemon glaze, make these Blackberry Muffins with Lemon Glaze the perfect breakfast treat! The texture reminds me of a sponge cake, light, fluffy, and not overly sweet.

I love the texture and flavor, they are truly bakery style muffins. I think it has something to do with beating the butter and sugar together for 4 minutes!

They hold together really well and have just the right amount of blackberries, and the glaze. Absolutely 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.

Sugar and butter whipped in a large glass bowl.

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.

  3. 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!

  5. 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?

  8. 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?
