Enjoy homemade raspberry muffins bursting with juicy raspberries and topped with a delicious streusel topping. 

Use fresh raspberries when they are in season, but you can also make these raspberry muffins with frozen berries. 

 Muffins make for a quick breakfast that you can make ahead and then grab and take with you on the go.

We have raspberry bushes in our backyard, so I'm always experimenting with raspberry recipes. 

This year we made raspberry crisp, raspberry sweet rolls with raspberry frosting, raspberry jello salad, and raspberry stuffed french toast.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR EASY RASPBERRY MUFFINS

To make raspberry muffins you will need the following ingredients.

ingredients for homemade raspberry muffins

  • butter
  • vegetable oil
  • sugar
  • eggs
  • greek yogurt
  • vanilla extract
  • almond extract
  • all purpose flour
  • salt
  • baking powder
  • baking soda
  • raspberries

Butter

I always use salted butter. But you could use unsalted and add 1/8 tsp of salt to the recipe.
Using softened butter is ideal.

Greek Yogurt

I like vanilla flavored Greek yogurt, but plain also works.

Raspberries

Fresh or frozen raspberries can be used. I used fresh berries. They were quite large, so I chopped them up into smaller pieces. If using frozen berries, add them to the batter frozen. If you thaw them first, you will want to drain the excess liquid.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR STREUSEL TOPPING

  • butter
  • brown sugar
  • sugar
  • flour

MAKING THE CRUMBLE TOPPING

In a medium bowl add the butter, brown sugar, sugar and flour. Mix together using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.  

 ASSEMBLING AND BAKING THE MUFFINS

Add muffin liners to a muffin tin. Spray lightly with cooking spray.

Add a scoop of muffin batter to each muffin cup. 
Sprinkle the top of each muffin with the crumb topping.

Bake at 375 for 18-20 minutes or until the edges of the muffins just begin to turn golden brown.

Another way to test if the muffins are done is to insert a toothpick into the center of the muffin. If it comes out clean it's done. If there is gooey batter on it, they need to cook longer.

Enjoy warm muffins right from the oven, or make them ahead for a quick grab and go breakfast or snack.

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
