Ingredients

For Blackberry Swirl

Streusel Topping (Optional)

For the muffins

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a muffin pan or place liners into each cup. 

For Blackberry Swirl

  • Add blackberries to a pot with sugar and cinnamon over medium high heat. Let it cook down, pressing down on the berries with the back of a spoon for about 5-8 minutes. Let cool to room temperature. Strain out berries seeds if desired (optional).

To Make the Streusel Topping

  • Combine all the ingredients together until a wet sand like texture forms. Place in fridge until ready to use.

For the muffins

  • In a bowl, whisk together flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a separate large bowl, beat together vegan butter and both sugars until creamy. About 3-5 minutes.
  • Add in applesauce, milk, yogurt, and vanilla. Beat again just until combined.
  • Add dry ingredients and fold with spatula just until combined again, careful not to over mix.  
  • Fold in mashed blackberries.  
  • Fill muffin cups up ¾ of the way full of batter. Then add about 1 teaspoon of the blackberry swirl and use a toothpick to gently swirl into muffin. Top with streusel topping by dividing it evenly among the muffing.  
  • Place in oven and bake for 27-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
