How to Make Raspberry Streusel Muffins

  1. **Make the Batter:** In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  2. Add 2 large eggs and 1 cup milk to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer until just combined.
  3. Stir in ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter until fully incorporated.
  4. Fill 12 muffin cups about ⅔ full with batter.
  5. Gently press 3-5 raspberries into the center of each muffin. Top each with 1 scant teaspoon of sour cream.
  6. **Prepare the Streusel Topping:** In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup chopped pecans, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and the zest of 1 lemon.
  7. Add ¼ cup (½ stick) melted unsalted butter and mix until crumbly.
  8. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the sour cream on each muffin.
  9. **Bake:** Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. **Cool:** Let the muffins cool in the muffin tin for 10-15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. **Make the Glaze:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice until smooth.
  12. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins.
  13. **Coffee Cake Option:** For a coffee cake, double the recipe and bake in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan for 35-40 minutes. Omit the sour cream.
