Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and Sugar Twin in a mixing bowl.
- Add skim milk, nonfat plain yogurt, and raspberry flavoring; stir just to blend.

- Divide batter evenly into 18 muffins.

Tips & Substitutions
For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding fresh raspberries or a handful of blueberries to the batter. If you don't have Sugar Twin, you can substitute granulated sugar in a 1:1 ratio. To ensure even baking, check your muffins a couple of minutes before the suggested time, as oven temperatures can vary. These muffins are perfect for breakfast or as a snack.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these raspberry muffins warm, perhaps with a dollop of butter or alongside a Luscious Fruit Dip for a refreshing contrast. They pair beautifully with coffee or tea for breakfast or an afternoon snack. For a complete meal, consider serving them with a side of Taffle Apple Salad for a delightful brunch.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. To reheat, microwave each muffin for about 10-15 seconds or warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen raspberries instead of fresh ones?
Yes, you can use frozen raspberries in this recipe. Just make sure to fold them gently into the batter to avoid breaking them apart too much. Frozen raspberries may add a bit more moisture, so consider adjusting the flour slightly if needed.
How do I make these muffins gluten-free?
To make gluten-free raspberry muffins, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend that has xanthan gum included. This will help provide the necessary structure and texture. Most gluten-free blends perform well in muffin recipes.
What can I serve with raspberry muffins for a brunch?
For a delightful brunch spread, serve raspberry muffins alongside a fresh fruit platter, some scrambled eggs, and a refreshing Jelled Spinach Salad. This combination will create a balanced meal that is both satisfying and visually appealing.
