Raspberry Orange Muffins
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup white or light brown sugar, plus more for sprinkling
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
- Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup whole milk, at room temperature
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 oranges
- 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries (about 1 pint)
- 1.
- Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line twelve 1/2-cup muffin cups with paper liners.
- 2.
- Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg together in a medium bowl.
- Whisk the oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla together in another bowl.
- Finely grate the zest from the oranges into the wet ingredients.
- 3.
- Make a small "well" or space in the center of the dry ingredients.
- Pour the wet ingredients and raspberries into the center.
- Stir the wet and dry ingredients together with a wooden spoon until the dry ingredients are moistened but still a bit lumpy.
- (Do not over mix the batter or your muffins will be dense and tough.)
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin liners and sprinkle the tops generously with sugar (about 1/2 teaspoon per muffin).
- 4.
- Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the centers come out clean, about 25 to 30 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through cooking.
- Cool muffins in the pan on a rack for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Turn the muffins out of the pan and cool on the rack.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
