In case you are up early today and still haven’t made plans for breakfast, you should probably make these muffins. I am a sucker for a good muffin you guys, and these are seriously good. Actually they are great. They are tender and jammed with fresh juicy blackberries, and then they have my favorite crumbly topping filled with coconut, oats and brown sugar. YUM.

There is no dad that would be mad about a fresh batch of these coming out of the oven! They are my favorite when served with hot coffee and steamed coconut milk- Enjoy!
