Lemon Raspberry Muffins

Lemon Raspberry Muffins

Most of the recipes I use I get from all over the place. Some from cookbooks, friends, Pinterest, TV, you name it. BUT...I always try to put a healthier spin on it! Here is a YUMMY muffin recipe I revised that is moist, yummy and a much better alternative than your average muffin!

Makes 15-18 Muffins

In a large mixing bowl combine:

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 cup old fashioned oats

1 Tbsp baking powder (it's always best to use aluminium free!)

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp Stevia

Stir to combine well.

Next add:

1/2 cup coconut oil (best if it's a little melted at room temperature or over medium low heat)

1/2 cup honey

1 cup 0% Greek or homemade yogurt
2 eggs, lightly beaten

1 Tbsp lemon juice

Zest of 1 lemon

1 heaped cup crushed fresh raspberries (YUM!)

Mix all ingredients until well combined and spoon into greased muffin tins. Back at 400° for 15-18 minutes. 

When completely cooled top with our yummy cream cheese frosting!

Ingredients:

1 8oz. block of cream cheese, softened 

1/4 - 1/2 cup heavy cream

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp almond extract

1 Tbsp honey

Cream all ingredients together and add a little more heavy cream if needed to create the best consistency. Add to the tops of muffins once they are completely cooled!
