Fresh Raspberry Streusel Muffins
Raspberry is my husband’s favorite fruit. He loves them in just about anything. I think I’ve mentioned in previous posts that he comes by it honestly because his aunt is a raspberry lover too. I can’t even tell you how long this recipe has been in my recipe box but I know it’s longer than 25 years. My Mom gave this recipe to me when she and my Dad returned from one of their wonderful trips. They often enjoyed staying in bed and breakfast inns. The innkeeper served these fresh raspberry streusel muffins one morning and my Mom instantly thought of my husband and his love for the fruit. She asked the innkeeper for the recipe and Dawn from Cameo Rose B&B happily obliged. Why it’s taken me so long to make them I have no idea but I will say I will be making them regularly.
The recipe card I have is in the innkeeper’s handwriting. I tried an on-line search to find the inn but it appears it may be closed. There is another one with a similar name but it’s in a location I know my parents never visited. I made the recipe as she wrote it but I did add the glaze. The raspberries I had were a bit on the tart side so the glaze helped cut that tartness. Taste your raspberries before making this recipe to see if you even need the glaze.

Yum! Raspberries and pecans – what a delicious combo!
Want want want! Raspberries are one of my favorite fruits, so they never last long enough to be baked with. But these muffins look and sound wonderful. I’ll have to pick up an extra container to make them.
