Tips for the Best Raspberry Muffins
-
Don’t overmix the batter — this can make muffins dense.
-
Use fresh raspberries if possible; frozen raspberries work too, but toss them in flour to prevent bleeding.
-
Room temperature ingredients help everything mix evenly.
Can I use frozen raspberries instead of fresh?
Yes! Frozen raspberries work great in this recipe. For best results, don’t thaw them before adding to the batter. Toss them lightly in flour to prevent bleeding and bake as directed.
How do I keep my muffins from getting soggy?
Make sure muffins cool completely on a wire rack before storing. If stored while still warm, condensation can make them soggy. An airtight container at room temperature works best for up to 3 days.
What can I substitute for milk in raspberry muffins?
If you don’t have milk on hand, you can use buttermilk, almond milk, oat milk, or even Greek yogurt for a richer texture. Each option slightly changes the flavor, but they all work well.
Storage and Freezing Tips
-
Room temp: Store in an airtight container up to 3 days.
-
Fridge: Keep in the fridge up to 5 days.
-
Freezer: Wrap muffins individually in plastic wrap, then place in a freezer bag. They’ll last up to 2 months.
To reheat, microwave for 20–30 seconds or warm in the oven at 300°F for 5–7 minutes.
