Ingredients for Delicious Raspberry Muffins:
For the Muffins:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2/3 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 and 1/2 cups fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)
For the Streusel Topping:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cubed
How to Make Delicious Raspberry Muffins:
- Prepare the Streusel Topping:
- In a small bowl, combine the flour and sugar for the streusel topping.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
- Make the Muffin Batter:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a rubber spatula. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be lumpy.
- Gently fold in the raspberries, being careful not to crush them too much.
- Fill and Bake the Muffins:
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over each muffin.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the delicious raspberry muffins warm or at room temperature. They are best enjoyed fresh on the day they are baked.
