Prep
- Position a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 375F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or grease well with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the mashed bananas and sugar until mostly smooth. Add the melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and yogurt. Whisk until fully combined and glossy.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Use a rubber spatula to fold together until just combined - stop when you still see a few streaks of flour. Overmixing makes tough muffins.
- Gently fold in the blackberries, being careful not to crush them. The batter will look slightly streaky purple - that's fine. If berries are very large, halve them first.
- Divide batter among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake 20 to 22 minutes, until the tops are domed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Frozen blackberries work too - do not thaw first or they will bleed purple streaks throughout the batter. For extra bakery-style domes, bake at 425F for the first 5 minutes, then reduce to 375F without opening the oven door. Muffins keep at room temperature for 2 days, or freeze up to 3 months - rewarm in a 300F oven for 10 minutes.
