One of my favorite flavor combinations? Lemon and raspberry!!! I have a ton of lemon raspberry cake recipes that I love and bake often. But sometimes the idea of baking a cake is daunting…
so that’s where these humble lemon raspberry crumb muffins come in! They’re loaded with bright lemon flavor, bursting with jammy pockets of raspberries, and topped with buttery crumbs. A lemon glaze can be added or left out, depending on your mood. But we typically add it because we love the extra perky lemon flavor it adds. And because we’re suckers for a good glaze! #guilty
Lemon Raspberry Streusel Muffins are one of my absolute favorite muffin recipes at my house…and we love muffins! They are delicious, but also pretty healthy with a few substitutions. I like the lemon taste because it is very subtle, but if you aren’t a fan of lemon, it is very easy to use whatever flavor of yogurt you prefer.
How do you make the best muffins?
One tip for success with muffins of nearly any kind is to only mix the batter until combined. Over mixing really affects the light, fluffy texture muffins have. Also, if you want perfectly domed muffins, increase the baking temperature 25 degrees for the first 5 minutes, then decrease temp to 400 and bake an additional 10-12 minutes.
