A recipe for moist, flavorful muffins combining bright lemon zest and fresh raspberries.

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 (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for optional glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (for optional glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Gently fold in the raspberries. If using frozen berries, do not thaw them first.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For the glaze (optional): Whisk together the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over cooled muffins.

Notes

  • For a bakery-style dome, fill the muffin cups completely full before baking.
  • If you use frozen raspberries, lightly toss them with 1 teaspoon of flour before folding them into the batter to prevent sinking.
  • To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
