Ingredients
CRUMB TOPPING
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 6 tablespoons butter chilled and cut into small pieces.
MUFFINS
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups raspberries fresh or frozen
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray the muffin with baking spray.
Make Streusel Topping
- In a bowl combine the flour, sugar, lemon zest and butter. Using a fork or a pastry cutter, combine the ingredients until the mixture is crumbly and resembles coarse meal. The crumbs should be about the size of a pea. Keep the streusel in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Make Muffins
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, oil, buttermilk, and vanilla until well combined.
- Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir with a spatula just until combined.
- Gently fold in the raspberries (if using frozen raspberries, toss them with 2 -3 teaspoons of flour to keep them from “bleeding” into the muffin batter).
- Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan. The muffin cups will be very full. Top each muffin cup with the crumble topping (about 2 tablespoons of crumb topping each).
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the toppings are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached. Cool completely then store in an airtight container.
Notes
- I use a combination of butter and oil, but you can use all butter or all oil (with all oil, the texture will be much softer).
- Instead of buttermilk, you can use milk or Greek yogurt. If using Greek yogurt, you will need to thin it out by mixing ¾ cup of Greek yogurt with ¼ cup of water.
- Make the muffins GF by using gluten-free baking flour.
