Vegan Raspberry Lemon Muffins
I’m loving all the raspberries and lemons this summer and these muffins just scream summer to me! These vegan raspberry lemon muffins are so incredibly easy to make too. The tangy lemon with the tart and sweet raspberries is just delicious!
I don’t love super sweet desserts or breads, so I think these muffins are perfectly sweet. You can definitely add more sugar to the batter if you prefer a sweeter muffin. I love a strong lemon flavor and these definitely have it. Don’t be shy with the lemon zest because that is what gives it the lemon punch.
The trick to keeping the raspberries from sinking to the bottom is halving the raspberries and only adding half to the batter. After you divide the batter into the muffin tin, you can add the rest of the raspberries on top.
If you are feeling a little extra, a lemon glaze would be amazing on top too! They are super light, fluffy, and the bursts of raspberries are so tasty! The lemon raspberry combo is one of my favorites this summer! If you make these muffins, tag me @nutsaboutgreens on Instagram and leave a comment below!
