There have been quite a lot of hits on my blackberry muffin recipe from 2008 in recent days, so I thought it might not be a bad idea to post it again.  The oatmeal in this recipe gives it a wonderful old fashioned taste, incredibly moist, like something your grandmother might have made.

Whole Grain Blackberry Muffins

2 cups flour

1 cup regular rolled oats

1 cup packed dark brown sugar

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp allspice

1 cup milk

1/4 vegetable oil

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 egg

2 cups fresh blackberries

Whisk together the dry ingredients.  Mix together the wet ingredients and gently fold into the dry. Carefully add the berries, folding gently, as to not crumble them into the batter.  Fill muffin tins to the top.  Bake 350 degree for 20 minutes.  Makes 12 large muffins.
