Blackberries are seriously underutilized in desserts, and they are a favorite berry to cook with. Super versatile, super resilient, and super healthy! At least that’s what you can tell yourself when you make these.

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 325F on convection mode or 350F for a conventional oven. Line three cupcake pans with paper liners.

To begin preparations for the cupcakes, prepare the batter, adding the Spice Girl Mix along with the other dry ingredients. Place the blackberries in a bowl, sprinkle the sugar over them, and toss to coat. Add the blackberries to the batter and fold until they are evenly distributed.

Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe it into the paper liners.

Place the cupcakes in the oven and bake until their internal temperature is 200F, 20 to 25 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through.

Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them rest in the pans for 5 minutes. Using an offset spatula, remove the cupcakes from the pans and transfer them to a cupcake holder. Cover them tightly and let them cool completely.

When the cupcakes have cooled completely and are ready to be frosted, prepare the Swiss Meringue Buttercream. Add the blackberry puree and beat to incorporate.

Frost the cupcakes with the blackberry buttercream, sprinkle the Oat Crumble over the top, top with additional blackberries, and serve.
