How to Make Lemon Blackberry Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 6-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease and flour the tin.
  2. Zest 1 lemon and set aside. Juice the lemon, straining out seeds. Add enough milk to reach 1/2 cup of liquid.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and milk.
  4. In a separate bowl, melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter and let cool slightly.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
  6. Add 1 large egg to the lemon mixture and whisk to combine.
  7. Pour the cooled melted butter into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  8. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  9. Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter.
  10. Add 1-2 tablespoons of fresh blackberries to each muffin cup.
  11. Top with remaining batter, filling each cup almost to the top.
  12. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  13. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
