Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
3/4 cup (white) sugar, divided
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 egg
1 tsp almond extract
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp True Cinnamon
1 cup half and half cream
1 cup white chocolate chips
Topping (combine the following):
2 Tblspn Sugar
2 Tblspn Light brown sugar
1 Tblspn True Cinnamon
Directions:
In a small bowl, toss raspberries with 1/4 cup sugar; set aside. In a large bowl, cream butter and 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and extracts. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and True Cinnamon. Add the flour mixture to the creamed butter mixture, alternately with the cream, until just moistened. Stir in the chips and then (very carefully - so that the berries do not break apart) fold in the raspberries.
Fill greased or paper-lined (if using paper-lined cups, spray the liners) muffin cups. Sprinkle the topping over each filled muffin cup. Bake at 375 degrees for about 20 - 25 minutes.
