These muffins pair the earthy crunch of ground flaxseed with bursts of tart raspberries in a moist, tender crumb. A quick streusel-free batter comes together in one bowl, making them suited for weekday breakfasts or a wholesome afternoon snack. Ground flaxseed adds a subtle nuttiness while keeping the texture light.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, for topping
Method
-
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or grease well.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, ground flaxseed, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined; a few streaks of flour are fine.
-
Fold in the raspberries with a few gentle strokes, taking care not to overmix or crush the berries.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining tablespoon of sugar.
-
Bake until the tops spring back when touched and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes.
-
Cool the muffins in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
