Ingredients

Topping

  • 3/4 cups rolled oats
  • 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • pinch kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter chopped in small pieces

Muffins

  • 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream or yogurt (not non-fat)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen raspberries kept in freezer until needed
  • coarse sugar if desired

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F.
  • Grease or paper-line the wells of 18 muffin standard-size cups.

Topping

  • Whisk oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt to combine.
  • Toss in the butter to coat. With a pastry blender or clean fingers, work butter into the dry ingredients until the butter is evenly distributed and the mixture is crumbly.

Muffins

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, sour cream (or yogurt), and vanilla. Add the melted butter and whisk well to combine.
  • Add half of the dry ingredients to the wet, whisking until the mixture begins to come together. Add the remaining dry ingredients and stir the mixture with a silicone spatula until it just comes together. Remove the raspberries from the freezer and fold them in gently.
  • Scoop the batter into the prepared pans with an ice cream scoop or large spoon.
  • Divide the streusel topping over the muffin batter and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pans for 10 to 15 minutes before removing to a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
