Blackberry Bran Muffins

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup wheat bran
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 cups fresh blackberries, divided
• 2 tablespoons melted butter

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat 3 muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray, or use paper liners instead.
2. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, salt and bran. In a separate medium bowl, combine the melted, cooled butter with the brown sugar, molasses, zucchini, sour cream and milk.
3. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir just to bring the batter together, then carefully fold in the blackberries.
4. Fill the muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake for 28-30 minutes, until a toothpick poked into the middle comes out clean.
