Blackberry Greek Yogurt Muffins
I love a good moist muffin packed with seasonal fruit. These blackberry Greek yogurt muffins are just the right blend of crumble, fruit and flavor.
With ingredients you likely already have on hand you can make these in no time and enjoy them for breakfast, a snack, a midnight craving…whatever has your fancy. These are delicious and packed with flavor and yumminess. Most people think of blueberry muffins, but change it up a bit and make some blackberry muffins instead.
This easy and delicious blackberry muffin recipe is sure to be a family favorite and I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

Why Blackberries?
Sometimes I feel like blackberries are an afterthought fruit. Blueberries, strawberries and raspberries usually take center stage, but blackberries get overlooked. They are fresh and delicious and in the summertime you can even find them growing wild.
We have dozens and dozens of blackberry bushes in our back wood area of our property and I can’t even pick all that is available. I will usually pick what I can and make jam, cobbler and new to the blackberry recipe lineup are these blackberry muffins with Greek yogurt.
Ingredients for Blackberry Greek Yogurt Muffins
The ingredients are simple for these blackberry muffins and likely you have most of these already on hand such as flour, sugar and brown sugar. Most people keep these stocked in their pantry.
Dry Ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour
- White Sugar
- Brown Sugar
- Baking Soda
- Baking Powder
- Nutmeg
- Cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- Greek Yogurt (Any brand will do)
- Unsalted Butter
- Vanilla extract
- Eggs
- Lemon or Orange zest (I’ve used both)
- Blackberries
How Long Will These Stay Fresh?
These muffins will last a few days before they go bad, but they really should be eaten in 1-2 days after baking for the best freshness and flavor. Try and eat them no more than 2 days after baking. You could freeze them but I recommend enjoying them right after you bake them.
Baking Supplies
Here are some essential baking supplies you will need for making your blackberry Greek Yogurt Muffins. You will need a muffin tin, mixing bowls, measuring spoons and cupcake liners. I love parchment paper cupcake liners. You can purchase them yourself or make your own by cutting out 5″ squares of parchment paper.
