Preheat oven
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Sift dry ingredients
Using a fine mesh strainer over a medium mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. (If you don’t have a fine mesh strainer, you can whisk the ingredients together to combine.)
-
Mix wet ingredients
In large mixing bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter, oil, lemon zest, and 1 cup sugar until combined. Add buttermilk, lemon juice, and vanilla to sugar mixture and whisk until well combined.
-
Combine dry and wet ingredients
Add flour mixture into wet ingredients and use a rubber spatula to gently stir until just combined and no dry flour is visible.
-
Stir raspberries
Gently stir raspberries into batter and set aside. Do not overmix.
-
Place cups in muffin tin
Place paper cups into your muffin tin or spray muffin tin, including the top, with vegetable oil spray.
-
Scoop batter into cups
Using a 1/3 cup dry measuring cup, scoop batter (letting any excess drip back into the bowl) and evenly divide batter into muffin cups.
-
Sprinkle sugar
Using your fingers, sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar evenly over batter.
-
Bake muffins
Place muffin tin in oven. Bake until muffins are golden brown, and toothpick inserted in center of muffin comes out clean, approximately 20 to 25 minutes.
-
Cool
Remove muffin tin from oven and place on a cooling rack to cool for 15 minutes.
-
Cool and serve
Gently wiggle muffins to loosen from muffin tin and transfer directly to cooling rack. Let muffins cool for at least another 10 minutes before serving.
