Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lemon
½ cup sugar
1 cup nonfat buttermilk (see Tip)
⅓ cup canola oil
1 large egg

1 cup white whole-wheat flour or whole-wheat pastry flour (see Shopping Tip)

RASPBERRY LEMON MUFFINS

This is the perfect muffin - really yummy flavor yet not much sugar. I've used different fruits too - blueberries and raspberries are our absolute favorites, but strawberries, peaches, or cherries are good too - frozen or fresh. You can use any kind of yogurt without fruit on the bottom. Easily adaptable to what you have. Hope you enjoy!

  • Baking: Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The baking time may vary depending on the size of your muffin tin and oven.
