How to Bake with Raspberries:
Baking muffins with raspberries can be a bit challenging. It is so easy to damage the berries when folding them in.
In order to keep the raspberries as intact as possible, you’ll want to work with fresh raspberries. The longer they’ve been in your fridge, the more easily they’ll mush, so use raspberries that were picked in the last day or two, or ones straight from the store.
If your raspberries are a bit older, you may want to drop several in the muffin cup, add some batter, drop in a few more, and top with more batter, to be certain they retain their shape. But since that’s more work, we recommend simply using fresh raspberries instead.
Can Raspberry Cream Cheese Muffins be made with frozen raspberries?
You can definitely made this muffin recipe with frozen raspberries. You’ll want to allow the raspberries to thaw slightly. However, raspberries that have been frozen and then thawed are often much more delicate, so you will need to be extremely careful if you don’t want to make a mess of them.
