Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 cups fresh raspberries
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with butter or cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be lumpy.
Carefully fold in the raspberries and lemon zest, ensuring the raspberries are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Sprinkle the tops with the additional granulated sugar.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
