Vegan Raspberry Lemon Muffins

June 17, 2021
This recipe makes the lightest little raspberry lemon muffins. Muffins are so quick and simple to make and require no decorating after they have baked. I packed these muffins with the flavors of summer—lemon and raspberry!

I love the combination of lemon and raspberry but don't see many products with these flavors. The raspberry is sweet and tart, I love the bright bursts of pink the fruit gives the little cakes. The lemon is such a classic muffin flavor. I use the zest and juice of two lemons in this recipe to give a really zing. The addition of the seeds on top of the muffins add some crunch, but these are totally optional.

Muffins are a perfect additions to a lunchbox or a picnic. They are a little more sturdy than cupcakes and the size of these make them perfect for packing into little tubs. Once you have made these a couple of times, you can easily change the flavors to match your tastes. You can leave out the raspberry and add poppyseeds for a classic lemon and poppyseed muffin. You can even top with a drizzle of lemon icing. If I don't have raspberries to hand, I love adding blueberries—they taste so delicious with the lemon.
