Add the cold butter cubes and use your fingers to press the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Chill in the\u00a0refrigerator\u00a0while you prepare the batter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prepare the Muffin Batter<\/strong><br>In a bowl, sift together the flour, powdered milk (or cornstarch), baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a separate large bowl, rub the lemon zest into the sugar to release the lemon oils for added flavor. Add eggs and beat until the mixture turns light yellow and slightly thickened. Mix in the vanilla extract, milk, and Greek yogurt (or additional milk if not using yogurt). Gradually add\u00a0vegetable oil\u00a0and melted butter, stirring until fully incorporated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients<\/strong><br>Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, adding in two parts to prevent lumps. Mix just until no dry flour remains, being careful not to overmix.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chill the Batter (Optional)<\/strong><br>Cover the batter and refrigerate for 1 hour. This step helps thicken the batter and produces a taller muffin with a tender crumb.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prepare the Raspberries<\/strong><br>Gently toss fresh raspberries with a few drops of lemon juice and coat with flour to help them distribute evenly in the batter without sinking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fold in the Raspberries<\/strong><br>Gently fold raspberries into the chilled batter using soft, sweeping motions to avoid crushing the berries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fill Muffin Liners<\/strong><br>Preheat the oven to 200\u00b0C (400\u00b0F). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease and flour each cup. Fill each liner about 2\/3 to 3\/4 full. Sprinkle streusel topping over each muffin and optionally add a few extra raspberries on top.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bake the Muffins<\/strong><br>Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let muffins cool in the pan for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Serving Suggestions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pair with a hot cup of coffee or tea<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Serve with a dollop of whipped cream for a richer treat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Top with a drizzle of lemon glaze for added sweetness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enjoy with a handful of fresh berries on the side<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Serve warm with a pat of butter or cream cheese<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cooking Tips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t Overmix<\/strong>: Overmixing can lead to tough muffins, so fold gently until just combined<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chilling the Batter<\/strong>: This optional step helps create a thicker batter and taller muffins<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Toss Raspberries in Flour<\/strong>: This helps the raspberries stay suspended in the batter rather than sinking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check Muffins with a Toothpick<\/strong>: To ensure they\u2019re fully baked, use a toothpick test<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Store Streusel in Fridge<\/strong>: Chilling the streusel before baking ensures it stays crumbly on top of the muffins<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nutritional Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Antioxidants<\/strong>: Raspberries provide antioxidants, which support immunity and skin health<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vitamin C<\/strong>: Lemon zest adds a boost of vitamin C for immunity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Protein and Calcium<\/strong>: Greek yogurt and milk add protein and calcium<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fiber<\/strong>: Whole raspberries add fiber, supporting digestive health<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Low in Saturated Fat<\/strong>: Use of vegetable oil and only a small amount of butter keeps saturated fat low<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dietary Information<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Vegetarian<\/strong>: This recipe is suitable for vegetarians<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gluten-Free Option<\/strong>: Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nut-Free<\/strong>: Contains no nuts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lower-Sugar Option<\/strong>: Reduce sugar to taste for a less sweet muffin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dairy-Free Option<\/strong>: Substitute Greek yogurt and milk with dairy-free alternatives<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nutritional Facts (Per Muffin)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Calories<\/strong>: ~180 kcal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Protein<\/strong>: 4g<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Carbohydrates<\/strong>: 28g<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fat<\/strong>: 7g<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fiber<\/strong>: 2g<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Storage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Room Temperature<\/strong>: Store in an\u00a0airtight container\u00a0for up to 2 days<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Refrigerate<\/strong>: Keep in the fridge for up to 5 days<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Freeze<\/strong>: Freeze individually wrapped muffins for up to 1 month.
