Customize This Recipe!
There are a few different ways you can customize this recipe:
- Play with citrus. Lemon is a classic pairing with raspberry, but if you want a unique twist, blood orange (or regular orange) juice is another great option!

Kitchen Tips:
- Utilize mise en place! Make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and ready before you begin making this recipe - it will help save you time and keep you organized.
- Adding a layer of coarse sugar to these muffins before baking can give them a sweet, crunchy texture on top that's delicious when served warm, especially with some butter added!
- Control your berry count. If you want to be even more precise with your raspberries, add a certain amount to each muffin tin after scooping in the batter, then gently swirl them around to incorporate.
