Raspberry Cream Cheese Muffins are delightful and simple to make. Using fresh raspberries makes these the perfect muffin for spring.Table of ContentsMany people wonder if it is okay to use frozen raspberries for these Raspberry Cream Cheese Muffins. My answer is YES you can use frozen raspberries.We all know that it can be hard to get “good” fresh raspberries depending on the time of year. If you can't find quality fresh raspberries, then grab some from the freezer section at the store.There is no need to thaw the raspberries beforehand, and the muffins will turn out perfectly.It is important to soften the cream cheese for this recipe. Trying to blend hard cream cheese into a muffin recipe will result in lumps. It is almost impossible to get the mixture smooth and well-mixed if the cream cheese and butter aren't softened.The easiest way to soften the cream cheese is to set it out on the counter 30 minutes to 1 hour prior to making the muffins.Remember not to leave it out past 2 hours because it can spoil quickly.Most of these ingredients are basic to almost any sweet muffin you will make.

I guarantee these won't last long, either.Start off by preheating the oven to °400F.Get out a regular-sized muffin pan and line the muffin cups with paper liners or silicone liners.

The mixture should resemble coarse sand when you are done.Now blend in the eggs, milk and vanilla until all the ingredients are combined. Be careful not to overbeat the mixture.Gently fold in the raspberries.Now it's time to prepare the cream cheese component.Mix the softened cream cheese and 2.5 tablespoons of sugar together in a small bowl until smooth and blended. Set this mixture to the side for the moment.Spoon the a generous tablespoon of batter into each muffin cup. You want the bottom of the cup to be covered.Now add a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture to the center of each muffin cup.Last, spoon another tablespoon of batter on top of the cream cheese so it is covered.Sprinkle a little sparkling sugar on top of the batter, if desired.Place the muffin pan into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.from votesPrintRaspberry Cream Cheese MuffinsA not too sweet muffin with fresh raspberries is perfect for breakfast or an after school snack!::IngredientsCream Cheese MixtureOptional ToppingInstructionsStart out by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F.
