Blackberry Pecan Streusel Muffins

Teresa Ambra

Prepare yourself for one of the most delectable muffins ever! Blackberry Pecan Streusel Muffins have it all. These muffins don’t have flat tops like some muffins. They puff up very beautifully and have double the blackberry flavor. Both whole blackberries and blackberry yogurt are in the batter. Then they have a delicious pecan streusel topping pressed into the muffins before baking. After the muffins are baked, a yummy powdered sugar glaze is added on top. It provides for even more spectacular flavor and sweet taste. Incredible is only one way to describe these fantastic muffins.

Last week we had some friends from our Sunday school class at church come down with the flu (even with a flu shot!) 🙁 So I made up a batch of Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup, Bacon Cheddar Biscuits and Red Velvet Gooey Butter Cake Bars for their dinner.

Then I decided to make these lovely muffins for breakfast for the next day. I knew she still wouldn’t feel up to making anything. They loved them but decided to freeze about half of these muffins and the dessert bars. That way their parents could sample them the following week when they came in for the holidays.

This is a spectacular breakfast muffin to make for the holidays, special occasion breakfasts, or just because you love muffins. These are great for breakfast any time and any place. You simply must put Blackberry Pecan Streusel Muffins on your list to make! While these delightful muffins have a few more steps than some recipes, they are so worth it. Blackberry Pecan Streusel Muffins are so mouthwatering you will want to make them for you, your family and your friends, and very often! I know I do. 🙂
