Ingredients

  • for the batter
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup white granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed dark brown sugar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup blackberries rinsed and dried
  • ½ cup pecans roughly chopped
  • for the streusel
  • 4 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
  • ½ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • cup packed dark brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400F, and line a muffin pan with liners.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugars. Add in the vanilla, oil, and sour cream, and mix until well-combined.
  • Switch to a spatula, then pour in the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, mixing until just combined. Fold in the blackberries and pecans, crushing the blackberries a little while mixing.
  • Divide batter evenly into 12 muffin cups, then set aside while you make the streusel.
  • In a small bowl, melt the butter. Add in the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt, and mix with a fork until large clumps form but there is no visible flour.
  • Sprinkle the streusel on top of your muffin batter, then bake in your preheated oven for 20 minutes until muffins are golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with a few crumbs. Let cool slightly and enjoy!
