“I made these with fresh blackberries from Impossible Acres Pickin’ Patch in Davis, California. The blackberries are slightly tart and the muffin is slightly sweet. It makes for a nice combination. You could substitute other fruit for blackberries as well.” – April Ferre
“My favorite B&B is the White Swan Guest House in Mount Vernon, Washington. With breakfast, they often offer scrumptious blackberry muffins that have an appealing cake-like texture.” – Jennifer Lesser; Vancouver, Washington (Bon Appetit Magazine)
