Raspberry lemon muffins are just delicious, perhaps the best muffins you will ever have. I love to cook for people and raspberry lemon muffins are one of my all time favorites. I love to have pastries in breakfast, but I can’t eat them all the time as they are rich in fat and sugar. However, these muffins are great as morning sweet treats. Although, low on fat they don’t lack anything when it comes to taste. These muffins are moist and tasty, and are perfect for the everyday breakfast menu. The best part is that it’s quite simple to make these raspberry lemon muffins. Here’s an easy to follow recipe for raspberry lemon muffins.
You will need:
Plain flour – 2 cups
Baking soda – 1/2 teaspoon
Baking powder – 2 teaspoons
Caster sugar – 150g
Salt – 1/4 teaspoon
Nutmeg, freshly grated – 1/4 teaspoon
Vegetable oil – 3 tablespoons
Egg whites – 2 eggs
Light brown sugar, firmly packed – 2/3 cup
Lemon extract (optional) – 1/2 teaspoon
Lemon zest, grated – 1 tablespoon
Milk – 1 cup
Unsalted butter, melted – 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick)
Raspberries or blueberries, fresh/frozen – 1 cup
Preparation method:
Step 1 – Muffin Pan Preparation
Set the oven to preheat at 425°F. Take 12 standard muffin tins or cups and use paper liners to line them.
Step 2 – Mixing the Batter
Take the flour, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, salt and caster sugar in a big bowl and stir together. In another bowl, mix together the egg whites, milk, butter, lemon zest and brown sugar. Now combine the wet egg mixture and the dry flour mixture together until they are well blended and acquire even consistency throughout. Gently stir in the raspberries until distributed evenly.
