    Raspberry Muffins with Streusel Topping

    Nothing beats a warm muffin from the oven … especially a Raspberry Muffin with Streusel Topping. It's laced with fresh raspberries and topped with a delectable streusel and lemon glaze. These muffins are fresh because of the fresh-off-the-vine raspberries, but cozy at the same time because of the streusel and glaze. There are three layers to the muffin, but none of them are hard or time consuming. Are you hungry yet?

    The first layer of Raspberry Muffins with Streusel Topping is the muffin batter.

    Dry ingredients measured out for Raspberry Muffins with Streusel Topping

    For a basic muffin recipe, start with the dry ingredients, then add the wet ones. The dry ingredients are flour (I use a gluten-free 1:1 flour blend), organic cane sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. See? It's easy.

    Then melt some butter, add some milk, and whisk in the eggs and some lemon zest to add to the dry ingredients.

    Raspberry Muffins with Streusel Topping calls for fresh raspberries. I will admit that I have used frozen raspberries occasionally in these muffins, but fresh are the best especially in the summer when they are in season. Stir them in gently because they are so tender and will break apart easily.

    The second layer of Raspberry Muffins with Streusel Topping is ... the streusel!

    In this case, the streusel layer is a bit of flour, some chopped pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon, some lemon zest, and salt mixed with some melted butter.

    And the final layer comes after the muffins bake: the lemon glaze.

    It's maybe my favorite part of these muffins. It just adds some zing to the whole she-bang! Just mix a bit of lemon juice with some powdered sugar and you've got a glaze.

    Lemon glaze is lemon juice and powdered sugar

    You can drizzle it with a whisk or you can pour it on straight from the bowl, but be sure to drizzle it over the muffins when they are warm. It will allow the glaze to soak into the muffin better.

    Pour the lemon glaze from the mixing bowl.

    How to serve Raspberry Muffins with Streusel

    Serve them up warm as (what I call) a breakfast dessert. That is, you have all the more nutritious stuff like eggs, bacon, tomatoes, sauerkraut ... you know to get your metabolism working. Then you treat yourself and end on a high note with these muffins and a tall glass of milk!

    Of course, though, these muffins are stunning as an afternoon snack with tea or coffee ... or another glass of milk.

    Headshot of Tammy.

    I have always loved nurturing and feeding people. My cooking style is influenced by my Southern parents, time living in Europe, and the foods available in the Pacific Northwest, where I lived for over 20 years. I cook from scratch and strongly support local farms and producers, believing that food plays a pivotal role in our quality of life.
