Ingredients
Instructions
- Grease 12 (3-inch) muffin pan cups.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a small bowl, mix milk, sour cream, and vanilla.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
- Add the egg and beat until well blended.
- Alternately add the flour mixture and milk mixture to the creamed mixture, beating until just combined.
- Gently fold in the raspberries.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider using cake flour instead of all-purpose flour. If you don't have sour cream, Greek yogurt can serve as a great substitute. Ensure the raspberries are well-drained to prevent excess moisture in the muffins. Mixing in some chopped nuts or a sprinkle of oatmeal in the streusel topping can add extra crunch, similar to the delightful flavors found in Berry Nice Corn Muffins.
Serving Suggestions
These Raspberry Streusel Muffins are perfect for breakfast or as a snack. They pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea. For a delightful brunch, serve them alongside a fruit salad or with Pita-N-Brats for a savory contrast. A dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of honey can elevate the flavors even further.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, place in a microwave for 15-20 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes until warm.
