White chocolate and blackberries make an unlikely but delicious pair in these white chocolate blackberry muffins! They’re great for breakfast, afternoon snack or those midnight cravings.

White Chocolate Blackberry Muffins

I like blackberries (I eat them raw and whole) but I know some people are bothered by its slight bitter aftertaste. Which is why I really like these white chocolate blackberry muffins. They’re sweet enough to mask the slight bitterness of the berries but not too sweet that you can’t taste the fruit.

They’re the perfect texture too – firm but not tough. Filling but not too dense. And they are a breeze to make. Let me show you how!

What is the muffin method

There are two ways to mix a cupcake or muffin batter – the creaming method and the muffin method. The creaming method is when you take butter then sugar and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy. You usually see this in recipes for cakes and cupcakes because we want them light and airy.

If you want your muffins stockier though, use the muffin method (thus, the name!). It’s when you mix the dry and wet ingredients separately, then fold them together only until they are combined.

Mix the batter by hand

It’s also always a good idea to mix muffin batters by hand. This allows you much more control over how you’re stirring.

Because there are two important things to remember when stirring muffin batter:

  • Stir gently. Avoid doing any vigorous stirring because this will make your muffins tough.
  • Do not over mix. As long as you don’t have massive patches of flour in your bowl, you’re good. You don’t want a smooth batter; muffin batters must be thick and lumpy.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp ground roasted flaxseed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 2 pcs large eggs room temperature

  • 6 oz white chocolate roughly chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blackberries
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Line 2 muffin pans (see note 1) with muffin liners and set aside
  • In a large bowl, sift 2 1/3 cups flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp salt. Whisk in 2 tbsp flaxseed until combined. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, using a handheld electric mixer or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat 1/2 cup melted butter, 2 eggs, 1 cup yogurt, 2 tbsp milk and 1 tsp vanilla on medium speed until smooth and incorporated (2-3 minutes).
  • Fold your wet ingredients into your dry ingredients just until combined. Add white chocolate and blackberries and stir just until evenly distributed. Do not over mix. The batter will be thick and lumpy.
  • Scoop the batter into your muffin liners (at least 3/4 full), making sure you get a piece of fruit in every scoop. 
  • Bake 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and the muffins bounce back when gently pressed. Cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

  7. I remember going blackberry picking when I was younger and eating them with abandon so I definitely agree that they are delicious raw. However I love the idea of them in muffins, as while my favourite is blueberry, it is possible that might change when I try your white chocolate blackberry muffins. It sounds like my idea of a sweet treat.

    • Hi Luiza. Sorry I don’t necessarily bake gluten free though I’m sure a quick search around the blog would land you some recipes that are naturally gluten-free or easily converted to gluten-free 🙂

  13. Such mouth watering goodies! I would love to try making some for my family, although it would make me sad because I can only “taste” them. I was just wondering if I could replace granulated sugar with artificial sweeteners like Stevia? What proportion would that be? I am diabetic and avoid granulated sugar if I can.
