These muffins need to be made. End of story. These 1-bowl beauties were inspired by the seasonal muffins served at Bijou Cafe in Portland – one of my favorite brunch spots in town. (See our whole Portland Dining Guide here!) I’m a sucker for anything cornbread* and blackberry, so recreating these at home was a no-brainer. *Note: you can learn about the origins of cornbread here. While Bijou’s version was only slightly infused with cornmeal, I desired a heartier texture. So I did some experimenting, and what I got was gold: a cornbread muffin studded with juicy blackberries. Yum. Friends, this is success. I think you guys are going to LOVE these muffins!

They’d also make a great midday snack or side dish to savory meals like Tortilla Soup, Masala Tofu Scramble, and Mediterranean Baked Sweet Potatoes. If you try this recipe, let us know!
