Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.

BATTER:

Sift flour, sugars, baking powder, salt and cinnamon together into a medium size bowl and make a well in the center. Place the egg, melted margarine and milk in the well. Stir with a wooden spoon just until ingredients are combined. Quickly stir in the raspberries and lemon zest. Fill each muffing cup three-fourths full with the batter.

STREUSEL:

Combine all streusel ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine.

Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of each muffin. Bake until nicely browned and firm, about 20 to 25 minutes.

GLAZE:

Mix sugar and lemon juice. Drizzle over warm muffins with a spoon.

Best if served warm, and the same day they are made.

If you are watching Cholesteral, use ¼ cup Egg Beaters instead of whole egg.

If you use frozen berries, use unsweetened and drain them well. If you cannot find unsweetened frozen berries, cut granulated sugar in batter to ⅛ cup.
