Raspberry Muffins

You know, because it’s the weekend and it’s Spring and we can never ever have enough muffin recipes and, today, it’s raspberry muffins. Don’t let the name fool you – these aren’t just simple raspberry muffins. These guys not only have juicy sweet raspberries, but there’s also a hint of vanilla along with a sneaky streusel layer that you may not even notice is there until you take that first bite and realize there’s a buttery brown-sugary layer baked right in.

Some Ingredients You’ll Need

The batter is a simple muffin batter that takes no time at all to mix up…

• resh raspberries – they’re tart and sweet and you can’t beat the color.
• There’s some Greek yogurt in the batter that gives it a nice tang.
• Vanilla bean: there’s nothing better than real vanilla beans, but you can substitute 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract if you don’t have vanilla beans on hand.
• And there are all the usual muffin suspects like butter, milk, egg, sugar, and all-purpose flour.

One of the best parts of these muffins is the secret streusel layer that bakes up inside the muffins. I like to drop a little bit in the center of each muffin before it bakes. Here’s what you need…

• Butter
• Brown sugar
• All-spice
• All-purpose flour

Did I mention the glaze?

There’s a glaze…

It’s sweet. It’s lemony. It drips all down the sides the way a glaze should.

So really these muffins should be named Raspberry Vanilla Muffins with a Secret Streusel Layer and a Simple Lemon Glaze, but who has time for that?

It’s the weekend. Let’s keep it simple.
