Ingredients

1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup fresh raspberries
1/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F(190°C). Line a muffin tin with 12 muffin liners and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Using a spoon or cookie scoop, divide the batter evenly among the muffin liners.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top of each muffin.

Notes

Make sure to measure your ingredients accurately to ensure the best results.

Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can cause the muffins to become tough and dense.
If you don’t have muffin liners, you can grease the muffin tin with cooking spray or butter instead.
If you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, you can increase the amount of cinnamon in the topping.

If you want to make these muffins healthier, you can try substituting some of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour and using a natural sweetener such as honey or maple syrup instead of granulated sugar.
These muffins are best served warm or at room temperature, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
You can also freeze these muffins for up to 2 months. To reheat, microwave them for a few seconds or pop them in the oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes.
