Easy Morning Muffins With Raspberries – makes 12
(adapted from The Art & Soul of Baking)
Do not be fooled by the plain exterior of these easy morning muffins. The hidden burst of tart raspberry flavor will take you by surprise on your first bite!
For the Muffins:
2 cups flour
2/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
pinch of salt
6 tablespoons butter
grated zest of 1 lime
2/3 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs @ room temp
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 half-pint basket fresh raspberries, or 1 1/4 cup frozen (do not defrost)
For Crumb Topping:
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2/3 cup flour
4 tablespoons butter, melted
Preheat oven to 400. Spray 12 cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
To make the crumb topping, combine sugar and flour in a small bowl. Add the melted butter and stir in until evenly distributed. Let sit for 5 minutes, then using fingertips, break into clumps. Set aside.
For the muffins, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. In a small saucepan, melt the 6 tablespoons of butter with the lime zest. Off the heat, add buttermilk to the melted butter and let cool slightly. Pour butter mixture into a bowl, add eggs and vanilla, and whisk until well blended.
Make a well in the center of dry ingredients. Pour butter mixture into the well and stir gently. Mix until batter looks smooth and there are no more streaks of flour. A few lumps is no biggie. Fold in the raspberries.
Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Top with crumb topping. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until skewer inserted in center of muffin comes out clean. Transfer muffin tin to a wire rack and let cool slightly. Run a small sharp knife around each muffin and transfer them to the wire rack to finish cooling. Serve warm or at room temp.
