Ingredients
Scale
170 g (1 1/3 cups) all-purpose flour
150 g (3/4 cup) granulated sugar, plus 2 tablespoons for streusel
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
115 g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted, plus 55 g (1/4 cup) for streusel
1 large egg
120 ml (1/2 cup) milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
170 g (1 1/2 cups) fresh or frozen raspberries
60 g (1/2 cup) all-purpose flour for streusel
40 g (1/4 cup) packed light brown sugar for streusel
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon for streusel
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease thoroughly.
Prepare the streusel: In a small bowl, combine 60g flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in 55g melted butter using a fork or your fingers until coarse crumbs form. Set aside.
Prepare the muffin batter: In a large bowl, whisk together 170g flour, 150g granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Gently fold in the raspberries. Toss the berries lightly with 1 teaspoon of flour before adding them to prevent sinking, if desired.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Sprinkle a generous amount of the prepared streusel topping over the top of each muffin.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For the best streusel texture, keep the streusel ingredients cold before mixing.
If using frozen raspberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the batter.
To prevent the streusel from falling off, press it lightly onto the batter before baking.
