Notes

*Nutrition information is an estimate based on a database that this owner is not responsible for maintaining. Exact nutrition information is determined by actual ingredients and amounts used.

You will definitely notice the seeds from the blackberries in this recipe.
Be sure to cut the blackberries in half.
Use a separate bowl for mixing the wet ingredients with oats. It's important to let the oats sit in the wet mixture to soften before baking.
Do not overmix the batter.
When I made these with white whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour, my kids only ate half of a muffin, lol. So, unless your kids are used to dense muffins, I don't suggest substituting the flour.
Use old-fashioned rolled oats.
Do not use steel-cut oats or pre-prepared oatmeal in this recipe (I tried using leftover oatmeal to make muffins and they did not hold up at all).
If you would like them a little extra sweetness, use vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt. Lemon flavored yogurt might be nice, too!
