Preheat the oven to 400˚F. Lightly spray a standard 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, stir together the sorghum flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and the baking soda.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, 1/3 cup brown sugar, egg whites, oil, lemon zest and vanilla. Stir into the flour mixture until the batter is just moistened but no flour is visible. (Don’t overmix; the batter may be slightly lumpy.) Spoon the batter into the muffin cups. Top each muffin with the raspberries.
In a small bowl, stir together the streusel ingredients until the texture of coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over the muffins, gently pushing into the batter. Bake for 16 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (Do not overbake or they will be dry.) (The USDA recommends cooking egg dishes to 160˚F.)
Transfer the pan to a cooling rack. Let stand for 5 minutes. Carefully transfer the muffins to the rack. Let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
