Instructions
1
|
Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with 6 liners, spacing them out so there is an empty cup in-between each liner.
2
|
On a small plate, use the tines of a fork to mash the banana until it's very smooth. You should end up with around 90-140 grams (⅓-1/2 cup) of mashed banana. Set aside.
3
|
In a medium mixing bowl, add the cooled melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk the mixture until it's thick and lighter in color, 2-3 minutes. Then, whisk in the mashed banana until smooth. The mixture may look a little curdled, but it'll smooth out.

|
Add 120 grams (1 cup) of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Using a rubber spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until it's about 75% mixed. Then, add the milk, stirring just until the batter is combined and there are no more streaks of flour.

|
Toss the fresh or frozen raspberries with the remaining 5 grams (2 teaspoons) of flour. Add the berries to the banana batter and gently mix to combine. Don't over-mix or the berries will fall apart!

|
Use a cupcake scoop to divide the batter between the 6 muffin liners, filling them all the way to the top. Finish each muffin with a generous sprinkle of raw sugar.
7
|
Bake the muffins at 400°F (204°C) for 5 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to 350°F (177°C) and bake the muffins for 12-16 more minutes, until an inserted toothpick has just a few moist crumbs. Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Freeze Raspberries First 🫐Toss frozen raspberries in a tablespoon of flour before folding into the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom and bleeding into the muffins.
- Banana Ripeness is Key 🍌Use bananas with brown spots and a slight give when squeezed—they have maximum natural sweetness and moisture, reducing the need for extra sugar and creating tender, fluffy muffins.
- Don't Overmix the Batter 🥄Mix dry and wet ingredients until just combined with visible flour streaks remaining; overmixing develops gluten and creates dense, tough muffins instead of light, fluffy ones.
- Raw Sugar Topping Timing ✨Sprinkle raw sugar on muffins immediately after filling the cups and before baking so it adheres and caramelizes slightly, creating an irresistible crunchy texture.
- Room Temperature Ingredients Matter 🌡️Use softened butter and room temperature eggs and milk to emulsify properly and create a smoother, more uniform batter that rises evenly for consistently tall, fluffy muffins.
