7 Ways to Elevate Your Raspberry Muffins

Raspberry muffin mixes, in its ready-to-use form, bakes up heavenly muffins on very short notice. But, raspberry muffins are so versatile as well! If you feel like eating something special, there are ways to take your raspberry muffins from a lovely, comforting snack to a show-stopping delight.  

1. Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy

Raspberry and lemon make the perfect couple. Bringing these two powerhouse flavors together will bring a zesty zing and sassy sweetness to your muffins! 

Adding a tablespoon of fresh-squeezed lemon juice and the zest of one lemon to your raspberry muffin mix will do the trick. And if you want to really pump up the lemony flavor, top your baked muffins with a simple lemon glaze.

2. Ramp Them Up With More Berries

We love our raspberries, but there is a certain muffin magic that happens when we incorporate not just raspberries, but a variety of berries into the mix!

Add a cup of extra berries to your muffin mix recipe — like chopped strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, cherries, and even some fresh raspberries. To make sure the berries don’t change the color of the batter, be sure to coat them in a sprinkling of flour before you mix them in; this also helps avoid the berries sinking to the bottom of the batter. 

3. Add a Satisfying Crunch

Raspberries pair well with a variety of nuts. Add a 1/2 cup of the nuts of your choice to your raspberry muffin mix for a satisfying crunch. Choose from slivered, sliced, or chopped almonds, pecans, macadamia nuts, or unsalted pistachios. 

Another satisfying addition is roasted coconut! Add a tablespoon of coconut to the muffin batter and then sprinkle some on top of the muffin before baking. You can even add a 1/4 tsp of coconut extract to the batter. It will add a taste of the tropics to your raspberry muffins! 

4. Give Them a Healthy Boost

Raspberries are already known to provide many health benefits, but you can magnify them with the addition of some other healthy ingredients. 

Stir in a teaspoon of hemp seeds, flax meal, or chia seeds for a health boost.

Or replace the liquid in the recipe with two mashed bananas. Just be sure to adjust the baking time required when you add an ingredient that isn’t on the mix instructions. 

5. Please the Chocoholics in Your Life

Are you a person who believes everything good in life must include chocolate? Well, you are in luck because raspberry and chocolate make a perfect pairing! 

Add a cup of chocolate chips to your raspberry muffin mix. Or you could add 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder to your muffin mix along with 2 tablespoons of chopped chocolate for a chocolatey treat! 

Alternatively, you could add white chocolate to add an exquisite twist to your raspberry muffins. 

6. Pump Up the Fluff Factor

To get the fluffy, velvety muffins, you could replace the water or other liquid with sour cream or yogurt in the muffin mix recipe. Your raspberry muffins with yogurt or sour cream add a rich tang and extra moisture that makes for rich-tasting muffins. 

7. Fill ‘Em Up

Raspberry muffins provide the perfect opportunity to incorporate a surprising and sweet filling! Consider filling your muffins with raspberry jam, chocolate hazelnut spread, or a soft cream cheese filling. 

Simply fill muffin tins halfway with batter, add a tablespoon of your preferred filling, top it with the remaining batter, and bake per muffin mix instructions.
