Muffin Mondays | Brown Butter Hazelnut Raspberry Muffins

This muffin Monday is brought to you by hazelnuts, brown butter and raspberries. Do you like all of these things? I hope you do because they like you! I had left over hazelnut meal from my previous Hazelnut Apple muffins but have not found a good reason to use it again until today. I used half AP flour and half hazelnut meal in these muffins and the nutty crumbly texture was incredible. I also used browned butter rather than regular old melted butter because brown butter makes everything better this is a fact. I love how the raspberries just melt into the batter when baked. The best part of these muffins is the sugar-crusted tops. Hot out of the oven the sugar tops crack like a crème brulee. These muffins are sweetness all around with a delicate tartness from the raspberries.

I am currently enjoying this beautiful spring morning eating these nutty, buttery muffins with a cup of tea while watching the newly hatched doves in my back yard. Muffins in the morning… the only way to start the day!

Happy Muffin Monday!
