Ingredients

Crumble Topping

  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp butter melted

Muffins

  • 4 tbsp butter softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups mulberries

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners (or spray the cups generously cooking spray). In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Stir until crumbly and set aside.
  • Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer), combine the butter and sugar and beat until combined. Add the eggs and sour cream and beat on medium-low speed until creamy.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix well. Gradually add to the butter mixture and beat on medium-low speed until just combined. Gently fold in the mulberries.
  • Divide the batter between the 12 muffin cups. Top with the crumbles. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean.

Notes

The streusel topping makes an ample amount, so decrease to 1/4 cup brown sugar and flour and 1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter if you don't want as much of a crumble topping.
A few extra flavor boosts you can consider adding are lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract or orange zest.
