Ingredients
Scale
For the Muffins:
2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted (or vegetable oil for dairy-free)
3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs (or flax eggs for vegan option)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup (120ml) milk (or plant-based milk)
1 1/2 cups (150g) fresh or frozen raspberries
For the Crumble Topping:
1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
1/4 cup (55g) unsalted butter, cold and diced
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Muffin Batter:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar until combined. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and milk, and mix until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Gently fold in the raspberries, being careful not to overmix.
Make the Crumble Topping:
In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and cinnamon (if using).
Add the cold butter and use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Assemble the Muffins:
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Sprinkle the crumble topping generously over each muffin.
Bake the Muffins:
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a dairy-free option, use vegetable oil and plant-based milk instead of butter and regular milk.
If using frozen raspberries, don’t thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent them from bleeding too much into the muffins.
