Tips for the perfect raspberry muffins
Don’t overmix the batter
The batter will look slightly lumpy, but that means the muffins will be light and fluffy. Mixing the batter until smooth causes the muffins to be denser and chewier.
Gently fold through the raspberries
Once the batter has been mixed until just combined, very carefully fold through the raspberries. Mixing the raspberries through gently will stop the berries from turning the batter red.
Storing the muffins
Muffins always taste best the day they are baked, but they will also keep for 2-3 days in an airtight container at room temperature. These muffins can also be frozen for up to 3 months in an airtight container or a ziplock bag.
