Blackberry Crumb Muffins

Monday, March 24, 2025
If you're looking for a tender Blackberry Muffin with a delicious crumbly streusel topping you've come to the right place. These have a delicious soft tender crumb from sour cream or greek yogurt with lots of juicy blackberries making them a perfect addition to breakfast, brunch, or afternoon tea. They can be made with fresh or frozen blackberries.

A few other Muffin recipes we love are Peach Crumb Muffins, Blueberry Muffins, and Cinnamon Sugar Muffins.

Blackberry Crumb Muffins are a crumb coffee cake meets blackberry muffin that's inspired by the beloved breakfast cake.

Just like their inspiration, these muffins have a light, delicate crumb, with lots of blackberries, butter, vanilla, and a generous coating of sweet coffee cake crumb.

I'm strongly opinionated about muffins and these definitely make the cut of deliciousness... Here's how to make these your weekend reality! 
Flour, Granulated Sugar, Salt and Sliced Butter in a stainless steel mixing bowl.
For the Crumb Topping add to a mixer:
  • 1/2 cup Flour
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Stir until combined and add:
  • 1/4 cup Sliced Butter

Crumb Topping for Blackberry Muffins in a stainless steel mixing bowl.
Mix until crumb topping is extremely crumbly. Move to a small bowl and set aside.

Creamed butter and sugar with egg added to mixing bowl.
For the Blackberry Muffin batter add to a mixer:
  • 1/3 cup Butter
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
Beat until light and fluffy then add 2 Eggs, one at a time. Mix until well incorporated between each addition.

Vanilla, Baking Soda, Baking Powder, and Salt added to creamed butter mixture.
Stir in until well combined:
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 3/4 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Flour and Sour Cream added to Blackberry Muffin Batter.
Mix in until well incorporated:
  • 1 1/2 cups Flour
  • 3/4 cups Sour Cream

    Blackberries added to muffin batter in a stainless steel bowl.
    Gently fold in 1 1/3 cups Blackberries.

    Blackberry Muffin Batter divided into lined muffin tin.
    Divide batter evenly between 12 standard-sized muffin tins lined with cupcake liners or greased.

    Crumb topping divided evenly over the top of Blackberry Muffin batter in a muffin tin.
    Divide crumb topping over muffins and sprinkle until covered. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25-35 minutes until light brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of muffins comes out clean.

    A Blackberry Crumb Muffin on a white plate split in half and slathered with butter.
    Slather Blackberry Crumb Muffins in butter and enjoy!

    Apples! That's what I most look forward to in the autumn, no question about it. Sure, I love baking with summer fruits, but nothing beats the smell of a fresh-from-the-oven apple crisp (except maybe apple pie, or apple cake, or apple bread...).

    As much as I laugh about all the products that get on the "pumpkin spice" bandwagon, I really do like that flavor in some things for a couple months this time of year. The pumpkin spice is especially good in coffee. I don't go overboard with it though by any means.
