Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1.5 cups fresh raspberries
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar for topping

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be lumpy.

Step 5

Carefully fold in the raspberries and lemon zest, ensuring the raspberries are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Sprinkle the tops with the additional granulated sugar.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
