Berry Good Muffins

Submitted by CoffeeMom

"I came up with this one to use all the fresh raspberries in my yard but so far I haven't met a berry that didn't work also! If you use larger berries like strawberries make sure you quarter them. I have tried this with milk, heavy cream, and light cream. I always get the best results with the light cream."

Yum! These muffins came together easily & baked up with a beautiful dome. I took some liberties with your recipe: I subbed fat free half & half, Splenda for half the sugar, added 1/2 teaspoon orange extract & used frozen blueberries. The raw sugar topping is a nice touch of crunch. These are bakery quality sweets. Thanks!
