(thanks to kathryn)

1 1/2 cups flour
2/3 cup oat bran
2 t baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
pinch of salt
6 T butter, room temp
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 cups chopped blackberries

preheat oven to 375 and line muffin tin with paper liners.
whisk together flour, oat bran, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.

in a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. beat in the eggs and vanilla. with the mixer on low, add flour in 2 additions, alternating with the buttermilk. fold in the berries.

divide batter among muffin cups and sprinkle with sugar.
bake 20-25 minutes.

we ate ours warm, then froze the rest for breakfast  last week.

ivy picked around the blackberries, but eli devoured the whole thing. such a mess afterwards, but i guess he's worth it :)

(note: made these again without berries, more sugar on top, baked for 20 minutes, and added flax.)
