For breakfast this morning I made some Buttermilk Raspberry Muffins. This is my favorite basic recipe for fruit muffins. You can add any fruit you want to these and they come out perfect every time. I fill my muffins before baking all of the way to the top and look at those beautiful domed tops! Vary the toppings on top, you can do nuts, streusels or sanding sugar as I did here. Be careful not to overmix muffin batter when putting this together. You just want to mix it until the flour mixture is incorporated into the wet mixture. Be sure that your baking powder is fresh when you use it for best results. I always before I start my holiday baking throw out my old leavening agents like baking powder and baking soda. That way I know I am going to get the best results I can when I bake using those products.

I love fresh raspberries but I don’t have a lot of recipes for them. This one is definitely going on the list! Thanks for the tip about using fresh baking powder, I don’t think I ever realized that was important.

I love them too. I change my baking soda out always before Christmas baking every year if I haven’t used it up before that.
