Description

Simple recipe for moist muffins with lemon and raspberry flavors.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, mix the melted butter, eggs, milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the raspberries.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • If using frozen raspberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
  • For a brighter lemon flavor, you can sprinkle a little extra lemon zest on top of the batter before baking.
