Mornings are hard, start your day off with a tasty grab-and-go treat. These Raspberry Lemon Yogurt Muffins will make any day just a little bit sweeter.
Spring has finally sprung. The local weather may not know that though. Someone should shoot it a memo.
It’s sunny, warm by day, everything a beautiful SPRING day should be. But at night it’s alter ego emerges, the one that’s dark and broody and frigid enough to seep through your clothes. How does it go from over 70 out to below freezing in just a few hours in Central Virginia??
Maybe someone should tell the local weather that there aren’t currently any casting calls for weather-based heroes or villains and their alter egos.
That being said– I may not be able to pack away the down comforter, or fold the flannel pajamas for the last time until next Fall, but it isn’t holding me back.
I love when seasons change, and nobody’s raining on my parade. It’s *officially* Spring, so that’s what I’m rollin’ with. And that’s why I’m ready to roll out this tasty treat: Raspberry Lemon Yogurt Muffins.
For us, every season comes with certain foods or flavors always associated with it. Like pumpkin in the Fall, or lemon and watermelon anything in the Summer. Spring? Well that’s easy, it’s fresh berries bursting with flavor.

These are pretty good, but for me, a little bland. I’d add more salt (maybe 1.5 to 2 times the amount in the recipe) and I also recommend throwing in some spices – I added cinnamon and nutmeg. Also, spray the muffin liners with cooking spray, because these really stick. Btw, the recipe says baking powder, but the directions say baking soda. Based on other recipes I’ve seen, I think baking powder is correct, but I’m not totally sure. I would make these again with a few adjustments!
