1 cup rolled oats
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1) Preheat oven to 400°.
2) Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 6 ingredients (through apple-pie spice) in a large bowl. Make a well in center of mixture. Combine milk, butter, vanilla, and egg in a small bowl; add to flour mixture, stirring until just moist.
3) Gently stir in blackberries.
4) Spoon 1/4 cup batter into each of 17 paper-lined muffin cups coated with cooking spray.
