Nothing says spring like fresh berries!

These Lemon Raspberry Muffins have lots of ripe, fresh raspberries and a splash of lemon in each bite!

Your whole family is going to enjoy these lemon raspberry muffins (I know mine did). The fresh lemon is just enough to help bring out the sweetness of the berries. Adding in the Greek yogurt also helps to make these muffins especially moist while the streusel topping finishes them off perfectly.

Added to these delicious raspberry yogurt muffins are some white chocolate chips which I feel really help to balance out the flavors and lend a sweet little hand. White chocolate goes so well with lemon and raspberries that it was a no-brainer for adding to this muffin recipe as well. This lemon raspberry muffins recipe is one you’ll want to make over and over again. Packed with so much texture and deliciousness in every bite you can’t help but swoon for them.

How to Make Lemon Raspberry Muffins

In a large mixing bowl combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Mix well with a whisk and then create a well in the center.
In another bowl combine the yogurt, oil, eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
Add to the dry ingredients and stir until blended.
In a small bowl, toss together the berries and 2 tablespoons of flour.
Fold your berries into the batter along with the white chocolate chips.
Use a large cookie scoop to scoop out the batter and fill a greased muffin pan about 2/3 of the way full.
Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour, 3 tablespoons of sugar in a bowl.
Cut into the butter until coarse crumbs form.
Sprinkle the streusel mixture over the muffins.
Bake in the oven at 375 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove the muffins from the pan and allow them to cool on wire racks.

Recipe Tips

You can use fresh or frozen raspberries for this recipe. If using frozen, the raspberries do not need to be thawed first.

You can swap out up to half of the requested flour in this recipe for whole wheat flour. Do not substitute more than that otherwise, the muffins won’t turn out properly.

If you don’t have plain Greek yogurt for these muffins you can swap it out for some sour cream instead. This will give you the same tasty results but will make the muffins slightly less healthy as Greek yogurt is better for you.
