Raspberry Crumb Muffins are delicate vanilla muffins, with a buttery crumb topping, and a sweet surprise inside.

These won’t last long before they’re gobbled up by your family and friends. Or you could keep them to yourself. I’m not judging you.

Bite into one of these little lovelies, and enjoy a sweet jam center. YES.

This muffin recipe is also known as “Raspberry Streusel Muffins”. The streusel refers to the sweet and buttery topping you put on the top of the muffins before baking.

If you like muffins with the streusel topping, try these Coffee Cake Muffins! If you’re into raspberry baked goods, try my Raspberry Sweet Rolls or my Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies.

Kylee’s Notes & FAQs

Don’t over mix the batter. When adding dry ingredients to wet ingredients, just fold vs mix vigorously. Overmixing batter makes tough muffins.

Be sure to fill the cups half way to two-thirds full – you want the jam to stay near the top, and not sink to the bottom, then top with the remaining batter and crumbs.

You can push a fresh raspberry into the muffin batter instead of doing the jam in the center. They can be fresh or frozen, but frozen berries do tend to “bleed” into the batter.

How to store muffins

Store in a covered container for up to 5 days.

Substitutions/Additions

These muffins can of course be made with any flavor jam you like. Try my small batch strawberry jam recipe, or this blueberry chia jam in the middle of these muffins for a yummy change!

Adding 1 tsp lemon zest to the batter will add another dimension of flavor. Orange zest is a great addition too.

Make the Muffin Batter

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
In a medium bowl, blend the butter, sugar, eggs, and milk until well combined.
Add the wet mixture to the flour mixture, and gently fold together until JUST combined. Don’t overmix.

Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
Drop 1.5 tsp of jam on top of the batter.
Cover the jam with the remaining batter, ensuring no jam is visible.

Make the Topping

Combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and softened butter in a small bowl.
Using a fork, roughly blend until mixture resembles breadcrumbs, with large lumps visible
Spoon the topping over the muffins.

Bake

Bake for 25 mins at 375°F. Muffins are done with a toothpick inserted in the center the muffin part (not the jam) comes out clean.
Remove from oven, and allow to cool in the pan for a few minutes.
Devour.
