Muffins are my go-to snack any time of the day, they are perfectly warmed for 11 seconds in the microwave and slathered with butter, clotted cream, or even jam.
The batter isn't overly sweet so if you have a sweet tooth, drizzle a little icing sugar or top with a dusting of powdered sugar.
As soon as ripe blackberries hit the farmer's market we start making all our favorite summer recipes with them to include homemade blackberry jam and blackberry pie two other berry favorites.
Plus when the berries are on sale we stock up on them and just place the berries in freezer bags to enjoy them all summer and into the fall season.
