A few extra tips:

  • When “pouring” this thick batter into muffin tins, try using an ice cream scoop or cookie scoop with a trigger (like these). It makes the job so much easier and quicker.
  • These pumpkin muffins will make your house smell amazing as they bake. It will make a cold blustery day feel so much more cozy!
  • Although it calls for blackberries, you can substitute any fresh or frozen berry. Blueberries are also very good in this muffin.
  • If you want to have these as a treat for a Fall party or an appetizer, try baking them in mini muffin tins and topping with cute cupcake flags.
