Serve these muffins for breakfast and your family will be begging for more. We love the combination of cream cheese and tart raspberries. GOOD TO KNOW: These sweets have only two-thirds the fat of traditional muffins.

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 50m

Yield 15 muffins, 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sour cream or 1 cup plain yogurt
2 eggs, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup raspberry preserves
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional) or 1/2 cup walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In large bowl, combine flour and sugar. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Remove 1 cup of the mixture and set aside.
  • To remaining crumb mixture add baking powder, soda, salt, sour cream, 1 egg and vanilla. Beat until combined, batter will be thick. Spoon mixture into greased muffin cups. Make a small indentation in the batter.
  • Combine cream cheese, 1/3 cup sugar and remaining egg. Spoon cream cheese mixture evenly over batter. Spoon raspberry preserves over cream cheese mixture. Add nuts, if using, to reserved crumb mixture and sprinkle over muffin tops.
  • Bake muffins 20-24 minutes.
  • This recipe makes 15 standard-sized muffins. If using larger or smaller sized tins baking time will need to be adjusted.
  • If you only have one muffin tin with 12 muffin cups, you can also cram all the ingredients into the 12 standard-sized tins, but be sure to grease the entire muffin pan, including the tops so the baked muffins will not stick. They will puff up and spread, and need about 8-10 more minutes baking time. You will probably want to omit the nuts as there won't be room for them
  • Another option is to make the 12 standard muffins and use the remaining batter, filling and topping in one of the small-size foil loaf pans, making a little raspberry cream cheese coffee cake! Bake alongside the muffin tins, but allow an extra 8-10 minutes of baking time for the loaf.

Categories     Cake     Fruit

Yield 8 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 egg white
3 tablespoons buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup fresh raspberries
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts, toasted
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon 2% milk

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, cream the cream cheese, butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and egg white. Beat in buttermilk and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture just until moistened. Fold in raspberries and walnuts. Fill paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 350° for 25-28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in muffin comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Combine confectioners' sugar and milk; drizzle over muffins.

Tips:

  • Use fresh raspberries. Fresh raspberries have the best flavor and texture for these muffins. If you don't have fresh raspberries, you can use frozen raspberries, but be sure to thaw them and drain off any excess liquid before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups almost full. This will help the muffins rise evenly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking the muffins will make them dry.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help them hold their shape.

Conclusion:

These cream cheese raspberry muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack.
