Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (125g) melted butter or margarine
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (240ml) milk
- 2 tablespoons Turkish yogurt (or Greek yogurt)
- 2 cups + 2 tablespoons (260g) all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 teaspoons) baking powder
- 1 packet (1 teaspoon) vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup (125g) fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips or chocolate chunks
For the Crumble Topping:
- 1 tablespoon cold butter, cubed
- 1 tablespoon (12.5g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
- Extra chocolate chips or chocolate drizzles, for topping
Preparation
Step 1: Prepare the Crumble Topping
In a small bowl, combine the cold, cubed butter, sugar, and flour. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour and sugar until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. If the mixture is too sticky, add a little more flour. Set aside.
Step 2: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Muffin Tin
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin well.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, beat the melted butter and sugar together until well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the milk and yogurt until the mixture is smooth.
Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, salt, and baking soda.
Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the raspberries and chocolate chips or chunks.
Step 6: Fill the Muffin Cups
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the muffin batter. Add extra chocolate drips.
Step 7: Bake the Muffins
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake, as this can dry out the muffins.
Step 8: Cool the Muffins
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
