Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin pan with paper liners.
Prepare the streusel by mixing the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and cold butter until crumbly.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and sugars.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated.
Gently fold in the black raspberries.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each muffin.
Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool for 5 minutes in the pan, transfer to a wire rack, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use cold butter for the crumbliest streusel topping.
Fold the berries into the batter gently to keep them whole.
Enjoy warm for the best flavor and texture.
