Raspberry Lemon Muffins
Soft, tender lemon muffins bursting with fresh raspberries. A sprinkling of coarse sugar adds a nice crunch. You'll love them!
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp salted butter melted
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- ½ cup plain yogurt
- 1 large egg
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp lemon zest
- 1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¾ cup fresh raspberries
- 1 Tbsp Wilton white sparkling sugar sprinkles
Instructions
- Spray 9 muffin cups with cooking spray. Zest and juice the lemon. Preheat your oven to 400°.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, oil, yogurt, egg, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
- Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir gently, just until most of the flour is moistened. Fold in the raspberries.
- Divide the batter evenly between the 9 muffin cups. I love using a large cookie scoop to make sure they are all the same size.
- Sprinkle the coarse sparkling sugar over the tops of each of the muffins.
- Bake at 400° for 7 minutes. Turn the heat down to 350°, and cook for another 11-13 minutes, or until lightly browned. A toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then invert onto cooling racks.
- We love the muffins best served warm, but they are also great at room temperature.
Notes
- Cooking the muffins at a higher heat for the first few muffins ensures that they will rise and make rounded tops.
- Fresh berries work best. Frozen berries make streaks in the batter.
- Lemon zest is what adds the lemon flavor, so don't leave it out. If you really love lemon flavor, you can add more.
