Lemon Raspberry Muffins

Lemon Raspberry Muffins – lots of bright lemon flavor and fresh raspberries for a tender and delicious muffin. Great to have in the freezer for busy mornings!

I love when the weather starts to turn, and we are getting warmer days. That means summer is near! And you start seeing more and more produce, which is almost as good. We consume fresh berries by the pound during the summer. So it was kind of amazing I had enough to make these lemon raspberry muffins.

When fresh berries are not around, you can use frozen raspberries in these muffins and it works just as well. Sometimes frozen raspberries are cheaper too, so if that is what you have, then use them.

What You’ll Need

• Lemon
• Sugar
• Buttermilk
• Oil – any oil or even melted butter works great
• Egg
• Vanilla Extract
• Flour – the recipe calls for a mix of flours, but you can use completely all-purpose flour if that is what you have.
• Baking Powder
• Baking Soda
• Salt
• Raspberries

How To Make Lemon Raspberry Muffins

• Zest the lemon into a food processor. Add the sugar and pulse until the zest is fully incoporated into the sugar.
• Pour in the buttermilk, oil, egg and vanilla extract. Plus until smooth and well combined.
• In a separate bowl whisk together both types of flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until they are just barely combined.
• Gently fold in the raspberries.
• Scoop in the muffin tins and bake until lightly golden and a tester comes out clean.
• Remove from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

If you have been here before, you know that we eat a lot of muffins. Chocolate Chip Muffins are my son’s all time favorite. I always have muffins in the freezer, and he can microwave them before school in the mornings easier. Cinnamon Roll Muffins are a close second, but I don’t always have those on hand.

I don’t know about your house, but mornings are kind of crazy here. My son has to be out the door by 7:10 at the latest, so getting breakfast in him has to be quick. And these lemon raspberry muffins are perfect. They use whole wheat flour, and lots of berries in there, and they can be made ahead of time.

Lemon Raspberry Muffins are fresh and bright in flavor, so they are perfect for spring or the middle of winter when you want it to be spring!
