Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • Zest of 2 limes
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup blackberries
  • Turbinado sugar for sprinkling on muffins before baking

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Whisk
  • Baking Sheet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Frying Pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare your muffin pan by lining it with 9 paper liners or lightly spraying it with cooking spray. Setting it aside will help ensure your muffins don't stick.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder until well combined. This ensures that the leavening agent is evenly distributed for an even rise.
  3. In a smaller bowl, combine sugar and lime zest. Using your fingers, rub the two together until fragrant. This technique releases the oils in the zest, enhancing the lime flavor. Add this mixture to the flour blend and whisk to combine.
  4. In a separate glass measuring cup or small bowl, mix together canola oil, egg, buttermilk, lime juice, and vanilla extract. Stir these wet ingredients until they're well mixed.
  5. Pour the liquid ingredients over the flour mixture. Stir gently, combining until just mixed. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough muffins. The batter will be thick – that’s okay!
  6. Gently fold in the blackberries until they are evenly distributed. You want to preserve their shape and juicy goodness, so handle them carefully.
  7. Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, fill each muffin cup with the batter, making sure to fill them to about 3/4 full. For an added touch, sprinkle each muffin with turbinado sugar for a crunchy top.
  8. Bake them for 17 to 20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Watch them closely to avoid overbaking!
  9. Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious Blackberry Lime Muffins warm or at room temperature!
