how to make Homemade Raspberry Muffins
This recipe mixes dry and wet ingredients separately, folds in raspberries, and bakes until golden. Work quickly if you use frozen raspberries so they do not bleed into the batter.
Ingredients :
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) milk
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- Optional: 2 tablespoons coarse sugar for topping
Directions :
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners or grease the cups.
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the egg with milk, oil (or melted butter), and vanilla.
- Pour the wet mix into the dry mix. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the raspberries carefully. If frozen, add them straight from the freezer.
- Divide batter evenly into the 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle coarse sugar on top, if using.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and tops are lightly golden.
- Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then move muffins to a wire rack to cool more.
how to serve Homemade Raspberry Muffins
Serve warm or at room temperature. They go well with a glass of milk, coffee, or tea. For a small treat, spread a little butter or cream cheese on a warm muffin.
how to store Homemade Raspberry Muffins

tips to make Homemade Raspberry Muffins
- Do not overmix the batter; overmixing makes muffins tough.
- If using frozen raspberries, fold them in frozen to keep color and texture.
- Use a scoop to fill muffin cups evenly for uniform baking.
- Check baking time at 18 minutes; ovens vary.
variation (if any)
- Lemon raspberry: Add 1 tablespoon lemon zest to the batter for a bright flavor.
- Streusel top: Mix 1/4 cup flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 2 tablespoons cold butter to sprinkle on top before baking.
- Whole wheat: Replace half the flour with whole wheat flour for a nuttier taste.
