I have a raspberry bush in my yard. It didn’t do too well this year, but I managed to collect a whopping 3 cups of raspberries from it! I decided to use most of them in these muffins, and I ate the rest! :)

The cream cheese and berries make these muffins deliciously moist and the glaze gives them a little extra sweetness. But they are good without the glaze, too, so you can make them either way!

This is a great recipe to use raspberries in, and perfect for serving at breakfast or brunch...or even afternoon tea! And they make a great snack with a cup of hot coffee or tea! :)

1/3 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup low-fat or regular buttermilk
2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans

POWDERED SUGAR GLAZE

1 cup powdered sugar
2 Tbsp. milk or half & half

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line regular–size muffin/cupcake pans with paper liners; set aside.
In large bowl, combine softened cream cheese and butter; blend well.
Add sugar and mix until fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs, and mix well.
In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; blend together. Add these dry ingredients to the egg mixture and blend well. Then add in the buttermilk, mixing well.
Gently fold in the raspberries and chopped nuts.
Spoon batter into paper liners, about 3/4 full. Bake at 350˚F for 25 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center of each muffin comes out clean.
Cool a few minutes, then remove muffins from pans and cool completely on wire rack.
After cooling, you can add the glaze. Just mix the powdered sugar and milk together, blending well. Drizzle lightly over each muffin. If you want, you can sprinkle additional chopped nuts over the glaze.
