Moist Lemon Raspberry Muffins

Berries are in season. I simply love berries – irrespective of black, red! I love them as they are loaded with antioxidants. Whenever I see them fresh, I pick a pint of them though I have more packs lying at home. I love to slide them in my diet in all forms – breakfast, drink, cakes! Whole wheat pancake topped with blueberry is one of the most delicious healthy breakfast for mornings. Just add a dollop of honey to make it taste heavenly. When berries are in season, I usually make muffins with berries and drinks with berry syrup. I wish to try strawberry tart someday and post the recipe here.
While many wish to eat blueberry and strawberry as raw, some won’t prefer to eat raspberry because of its skin. My family is so, hence I prepare these moist raspberry muffins. You will be amazed to see your family munching these muffins happily. And these muffins are dairy free, butter free, sugar-free and there is no high fructose syrup !!
