Ingredients

For the topping:

  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • Grated zest of 1/2 lemon
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans or sliced almonds

For the muffins:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Grated zest of 1/2 lemon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blackberries or 2 1/2 cups frozen unsweetened blackberries unthawed

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners.

To make the topping:

  • In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, flour and lemon zest. Cut butter into 1/2 inch pieces and sprinkle over mixture. Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour mixture until butter is oat sized. Add the nuts and stir to combine. Set aside.

To make the muffins:

  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, lemon zest and salt.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the egg, yogurt, melted butter and vanilla extract. Pour the yogurt mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until evenly mixed. The batter will be slightly thick and lumpy. Sprinkle with the blackberries and gently fold in with a large rubber spatula just until evenly distributed. Be careful not to break up the fruit. Do not over-mix.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Top each muffin with topping, dividing evenly. Bake until the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 22 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Store the muffins in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
