About The Recipe
Just because it’s February and the middle of winter doesn’t mean we can’t be dreaming of warm, spring days with these muffins! We always need a sweet reminder of what’s to come.
To be honest, one of my favorite fruits on the planet is raspberries. They always remind me of summer days and, during these snowing days, that’s really the only thing I want.
I’m not complaining though. I’m loving this weather.
Almost as much as I’m loving these muffins.
In this house, we are all dessert lovers. We love anything that’s sweet! But, I do have to say, I love me a good sweet breakfast from time to time. These muffins are just the trick! Plus, it’s got fresh fruit. That’s a total win-win situation, right?
Ingredients
- Raspberries
- Sugar
- All-Purpose Flour
- Salt
- Baking Soda
- Baking Powder
- Lemon Zest
- Milk
- Eggs
- Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together raspberries, 2 teaspoons of flour, and 2 teaspoons sugar.
In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients and whisk together until thoroughly combined!
Now, in a medium bowl (wow, we really are using every size), combine wet ingredients.
Hey, hey! We’re getting closer to having the most delicious muffins ever! Combine the wet and dry ingredients together thoroughly.
Fold the raspberries into the batter. A few will probably break but try to be as gentle as you can!
Scoop the batter into a lined muffin tin. I recommend using a cookie scoop. I know this sounds silly but this will ensure you get each muffin equal in size!
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are a light golden color.
Take out of the oven, let cool, and enjoy!
How To Store
These muffins freeze really, really well. I recommend letting them cool and placing them in a freezer safe bag. They will keep for a few a months in the freezer. You can also refrigerate, or even leave them on the counter for a few days.
If you’re freezing them, you can easily heat them up in the microwave!
Expert Tips
- Use a rubber spatula to fold the wet and dry ingredients together.
- Mix only until the dry ingredients are wet. Don’t over-mix! It’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
- Using muffin tin liners makes cleanup a breeze!
- Let these muffins cool before eating! If you peel the cupcake paper before the muffins totally cool, then the muffin will stick to the paper.
- Don’t skip coating your raspberries! This keeps them from sinking to the bottom of your muffin.
