Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, divided

  • cup white sugar

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ cup butter, at room temperature

  • ½ cup lemon juice

  • cup milk

  • 2 egg whites

  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup frozen raspberries

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.

  2. Sift 2 cups flour, sugar, baking soda, and baking powder into the bowl of a stand mixer. Cut butter into 4 or 5 chunks and add to the bowl. Mix on low speed until mixture resembles sand.

  3. Combine lemon juice, milk, egg whites, almond extract, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Beat lightly for 2 minutes with a fork or whisk. Pour over the flour mixture and mix on medium speed until fully incorporated, about 1 minute.

  4. Dust frozen raspberries with 4 tablespoons flour to prevent sinking. Fold into the batter using a spatula. Fill muffin cups 2/3 full of batter.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Cook's Note:

Dusting raspberries with flour is optional.
