I made these Raspberry Streusel Muffins after wanting something a little more interesting than a plain muffin, and the raspberry swirl and crumbly topping did the trick. The recipe has a few separate parts, but each one is simple to prepare, and the finished muffins look like something you picked up from a bakery.

The muffins are soft and tender with bright raspberry flavor running through the center, while the buttery streusel adds a crumbly contrast on top. If you enjoy fruit-filled bakes, you can also try Strawberry Muffin and Blueberry Lemon Muffin.
