Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 Egg
• 1 cup Fresh blackberries, chopped
• 0.5 cups Powdered sugar (optional, for cupcake glaze)
• 1 tablespoons Lemon juice (optional, for cupcake glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a mini muffin or mini cupcake pan with paper liners or lightly grease the pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins or cupcakes dense.

Step 5

Fold the chopped blackberries into the batter using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 6

Scoop the batter into the prepared mini muffin or cupcake pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin or cupcake comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the muffins or cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

If you prefer cupcakes, mix powdered sugar and lemon juice to create a light glaze. Drizzle or spread the glaze on top of the cooled mini cupcakes before serving.

Step 10

Serve as is for a delicious mini muffin experience or add the glaze for a dessert-style mini cupcake. Enjoy!
