Variations
Faq
- Why did my muffins turn out too dense?
Make sure not to overmix the batter; mixing just until combined leads to fluffier muffins. Double-check your leavening agents' freshness as well!
- Can I use fresh raspberries instead of frozen ones?
Absolutely! Just ensure you gently fold them into your batter to prevent the juices from turning it too wet. Fresh raspberries add a burst of flavor!
- Why is my cream cheese layer melting into the muffin?
Ensure your cream cheese is firm and not too softened before mixing. Chilling it slightly in the freezer before use can help it maintain its texture.
- How can I ensure an even bake?
Rotate your muffins halfway through baking to promote even heat distribution. Also, consider calibrating your oven if it seems to bake unevenly.
- How can I enhance the raspberry flavor?
For an extra punch, add a teaspoon of raspberry extract or some zest from a fresh lemon for complementary notes. Freshness is key!
- What's the best way to store these muffins?
Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for a week. For longer storage, freeze them, and they’ll last up to 3 months.
