Directions

Blackberry + Bee Pollen Muffins

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Line a muffin pan with six paper liners.
3. Place butter, egg, and milk in a medium sized bowl. Mix until blended.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the blackberries.
5. Distribute batter evenly between six paper liners. Sprinkle with sugar.
6. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. You will know the muffins are ready when you use the toothpick trick (place a toothpick in a muffin…the muffins are ready if the toothpick comes out clean).
7. Once you remove from oven, sprinkle tops with bee pollen. Serve warm with blackberry butter (recipe below).
