Raspberry Muffins

Submitted by Nancy G.

"A treat for breakfast or tea that can be made year-round with fresh or frozen raspberries. The streusel ingredients make much more streusel than you will need so you can cut it down. I make it all and put the extra streusel in the freezer and then I have streusel whenever I need it. I usually just mix up the streusel in a bowl and work in the butter with my fingertips. I also only get 10 muffins out of this but I have a tendency to really fill up my muffin cups."

Very good muffin recipe! Resulted in tender, moist muffins that were just the right balance of sweet and slight tartness from the berries. My kids gobbled them up. I used frozen raspberries that I thawed overnight, 1/4 c. butter and 1/4 c. Smart Balance spread and it worked just fine. Thanks, I'll be making these again!

Wow, are these tasty! Made them this snowy Colorado morning for breakfast. I followed the recipe exactly but I did have to add a bit more mild than what was stated. I also like that it makes extra streusel since I know I'll be making these again!

I used all white whole wheat flour and butter milk--the muffins came out beautifully, even at high altitude. Moist and tender, not too sweet. This will be added to my muffin baking rotation.

YUM!!! Will definitely make again. I was out of whole wheat flour so used all AP but will try some whole wheat next time. Nice combination of spices and fruit. I used unsweetened frozen raspberries and they were just right -- not overly sweet. Made 1/2 a batch of streusel and still had enough to freeze for another batch or two. Thanks for posting this recipe! Definitely 5 stars!
