Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
-
In another bowl, gently fold the softened cream cheese and fresh raspberries. Be careful not to break the raspberries; you want them whole for bursts of fruity flavor.
-
Gently fold the cream cheese and raspberry mixture into the muffin batter until just incorporated. Again, avoid overmixing.
-
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
-
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Enjoy your Raspberry Cream Cheese Muffins warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
