Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted (or oil for vegan/dairy-free)
- ¾ cup milk or plant-based milk
- 1 large egg (or flaxseed meal mixed with water for vegan)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Main Add-ins
- Prepare Your Dry Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners. In a large bowl, whisk together rolled oats, flour, baking powder, brown sugar, and salt to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter (or oil), milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light and tender.
- Add the Fresh Raspberries: Carefully fold in the fresh raspberries, taking care not to mash them, so the muffins remain vibrant and fruity.
- Bake Until Golden: Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh raspberries for best texture and flavor; frozen can be used if thawed and drained.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins.
- Use room temperature ingredients for better blending and muffin texture.
- Line muffin pans with paper liners or grease well for easy removal and clean tops.
- Check muffin doneness starting a few minutes early, as oven temperatures vary.
