Muffins are one of those things I’m always baking. I love to store them in the freezer so I can take out one at a time to enjoy whenever the muffin mood strikes. This Whole Grain Blackberry Spice Muffins recipe calls for frozen blackberries, but you really just use fresh blackberries and put them in the freezer until solid. If you try to chop fresh blackberries that aren’t frozen, you’ll have quite a mess on your hands and your muffins will turn out to be an odd shade of purple. Freeze, then chop! Problem solved!
If you’re looking for a whole grain kind of fruity muffin, this is one to try. It has half whole wheat flour and half white flour. Oats are also added in. There is one cup of brown sugar in the recipe. I find that yields just the right amount of sweetness for 17 muffins. There are only 3 tablespoons butter in the recipe, so it’s lower fat. If you’re on the Weight Watchers program, the points are included at the top of this post. I feel like the point value is worth it. Because these are whole grain, they’re quite filling. Grab some fresh blackberries, and bake some muffins! If you’re looking for more fruity muffin recipes, I have some suggestions for you. Apple Fritter Muffins are a favorite. Whole Grain Banana Muffins are always another good whole grain choice. I’m pretty crazy about these Cinnamon Roll Muffins too.
