The Streusel blackberry muffins are super soft and moist. They are perfect with tea or coffee served for brunch or afternoon tea. You only need two bowls and a balloon whisk for preparing these easy and super yummy muffins. I used fresh wild blackberries because I picked them during my run in the woods near my house, but you can use store bought or frozen berries.
Baking muffins is pretty easy but the secret to have perfect moist and crumbling muffins is to not overmix the batter and use granulated sugar. The baking temperature it’s important too: it must be 190/200 °C so the inside stays moist and the outside crunchy. You can make these muffins also using with blueberries, raspeberries or mixng them for a colour full result.
