Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 cups raspberries fresh or frozen
Cream Cheese Mixture
- 4 ounces softened cream cheese
- 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
Optional Topping
- Sparkling sugar for sprinkling on top if desired
Instructions
-
Start out by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a regular-sized muffin pan with paper or silicone muffin liners. This should make approximately 18 muffins.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Next work in the softened butter with your electric mixer. The mixture will sort of resemble coarse sand.
-
Now blend in the eggs, milk, and vanilla until all ingredients are combined, but being careful not to overbeat the mixture.
-
Gently fold in the raspberries.
-
For the cream cheese component you need to mix together softened cream cheese and 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar in a small bowl until smooth and blended. Just keep this mixture off to the side for now.
-
Take your muffin batter and scoop a generous tablespoon of batter into each muffin cup. You want there to be just enough that the bottom of each muffin liner is covered.
-
Now add about a teaspoon of cream cheese mixture to the center of each muffin cup.
-
Add another spoonful of batter on top of the cream cheese mixture in your muffin cup.
-
Sprinkle a little sparkling sugar on top of the batter, if desired.
-
Bake the muffins for 20 to 25 minutes or a toothpick comes out clean.
