Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- 2 tsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
- Fold in raspberries carefully to avoid crushing them.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the best texture and moisture.
- Frozen raspberries can be used, but do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
- For a stronger lemon flavor, add a bit of lemon extract or more zest.
- Muffins can be stored at room temperature for 2 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
