Instructions
Muffins
- Preheat the oven to 400°F
- Whisk together cane sugar, unsalted butter, & vanilla extract
- Add 2% milk, orange juice & egg. Mix on low with a handmixer until combined
- Sift in all-purpose flour, kosher salt, and baking powder into the liquid ingredients. Then mix until just completely combined
- Gently add and fold in black raspberries (if you use larger berries you will need to lightly cover them with flour, then add them to the mixture).
- Fill a greased (or paper-lined) muffin tin ¾ full (if you choose to use sugar crystals, add them HERE)
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
If making the glaze…
-
While the muffins are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the orange juice and powdered sugar until smooth.
-
Once the muffins are done, let them cool for a few minutes. While still warm, dip the tops into the glaze. Allow them to cool completely, then dip again for a thicker glaze, if desired.

- If you can’t find wild black raspberries, you can use cultivated berries at a 1:1 ratio. You might need to cut them in half as they will likely be much bigger than wild raspberries.
- Instead of making an orange glaze, top it with some Sugar Crystals (about ¼ cup should be enough for all the muffins).
- Mini Muffin baking times: Simply fill a mini muffin tin 3/4 full and bake for 10 min, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
