LEMON RASPBERRY MUFFINS

Sweet muffins with beautiful raspberries and refreshing lemon. Now that’s a way to go from summer to fall. Keep the summer flavors and enjoy these muffins as a snack or add to a lunchbox this back-to-school time. I have my fool-proof Glazed Lemon Muffin recipe here on the blog. Anytime I make muffins, I go back to that recipe. It has never failed me and the muffins come out perfectly domed – that’s a must in muffins for me. No flat tops here!

What do you need to make these muffins:

• flour
• baking powder
• baking soda
• granulated sugar
• salt
• buttermilk (make homemade, see notes)
• vanilla extract
• vegetable oil
• egg
• lemon zest
• 4oz. fresh raspberries

How to make Lemon Raspberry Muffins?

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Whisk in the lemon zest. Add raspberries. Set aside.
• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together buttermilk, vanilla, egg and oil.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir in with a wooden spoon until well combined. Do not overmix. Divide batter into muffin pan cups.
• Bake for 5 minutes at 400 degrees without opening the oven, lower the temperature to 375 degrees and bake until the toothpick inserted into each muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden.

How to make muffins with berries?

I recommend adding the berries to the dry ingredients to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins. I saved a few whole raspberries and inserted them on top of the muffins just before baking.

Tips for making the best muffins:

• Do not overmix the batter. It’s okay if it’s lumpy.
• Bake the muffins for 5 to 7 minutes at 400 degrees and then without opening the oven, lower the temperature and finish baking for another 13 minutes. This will ensure the domed tops!
• Place a few berries on the top of muffins just before baking for the bakery-style look.
