Each bite of these tasty muffins bursts with raspberry, lemon, and vanilla flavour.

Take a big bite out of summer with Raspberry Muffins. You can taste the warm sun that grew the berries, the sweet bits of honey, and the lovely lemon flavoured batter. Yum!

When you eat Raspberry Muffins fresh out of the oven, the warm berries melt in your mouth. With a lightly tart raspberry flavour, surrounded by a lemon and vanilla sweetened batter, these muffins are a truly tasty treat.

The combination of sweet and tart make these muffins a wonderful snack or addition to any meal. When the flavours combine with the light and fluffy muffin batter,  you can’t help but love every bite.

If you haven’t cooked with frozen raspberries before, it’s a total dream. There’s no washing or prepping, the raspberries are just there waiting for you. Plus, they’re always fresh, tasty and completely delicious. Isn’t that just perfect!

As you stir the frozen raspberries into the muffin batter, they begin to break down, giving the muffins a swirl of colour and flavour. If you mix the frozen berries too much, the muffins will become more of a raspberry red colour. Try to mix the berries in just enough so they are evenly mixed throughout.

While the muffins bake, the frozen raspberries defrost leaving the muffins light and perfectly moist. It’s hard to resist taking a big bite out of these muffins. And once you try one, you’ll just want more and more.

What are you waiting for? These summer fresh muffins are sure to be a hit with anyone you share them with.
