Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, melt the unsalted butter and allow it to cool slightly. Then add the eggs, whole milk, and vanilla extract to the butter and whisk until fully combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir everything together gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Gently fold in the fresh raspberries and lemon zest until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Use a spoon or an ice cream scoop to divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
