Main Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup milk
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- Preheat and Prep: Begin by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to prevent sticking. This simple step sets you up for perfect muffins that release easily.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mixing these ingredients first ensures your muffins will have an even rise and balanced sweetness.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg lightly, then stir in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. These wet ingredients give moisture and richness to the batter.
- Incorporate Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix and gently fold together. Be careful not to overmix—combine just until flour disappears but some lumps remain to keep the muffins tender.
- Add Fresh Raspberries: Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, taking care not to break them up too much; you want distinct bursts of juicy fruit throughout the batter.
- Fill Muffin Cups and Bake: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full for good rise. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let your Raspberry Muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature—the perfect treat anytime.
Notes
- Use fresh raspberries for best texture; frozen raspberries can be used if thawed and drained properly.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough muffins.
- Use room temperature eggs and milk for a lighter crumb and smooth batter.
- Test doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Adjust sugar according to the tartness of your raspberries for a perfect balance.
