Easy Raspberry Streusel Muffins Recipe

Easy Raspberry Streusel Muffins Recipe with fresh raspberries and buttery crumb topping — bake them hot and fresh right at home.

These muffins have a vanilla based batter that is pleasantly simple and easy to put together.  One trick is to add a splash of white vinegar for a super tender crumb that’s super soft and so delicious.

Juicy berries make these Raspberry Streusel Muffins super enticing and of course that buttery streusel that’s mounded on top. The crusty crumb topping is a simple mix of sugar, flour and butter for one brilliant crunch.

Fresh raspberries are always preferred, but frozen berries will do the trick as well.  Just make sure to stir gently and don’t over mix, so you don’t end up with red batter.  These Raspberry Streusel Muffins puff up into a light golden brown crust right before your eyes.  Let them rest 15 minutes before removing from the pan — so you don’t disrupt that gorgeous pile of buttery crumbs.
