Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners or lightly grease with a non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In another bowl, mix together the applesauce, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while stirring gently. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing as this can result in dense muffins.
Gently fold in the blackberries and lemon zest using a spatula, being careful not to crush the blackberries too much.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
