How to Make Lemon Raspberry Muffins Gluten Free Or Regular

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. Zest one lemon using a microplane or fine grater, removing only the outer yellow layer. Avoid the white pith.
  3. In a food processor, combine the lemon zest with 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Pulse until the zest is finely incorporated into the sugar.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free all-purpose blend), 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the wet ingredients (buttermilk mixture) to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in 1 cup fresh raspberries.
  8. Fill the prepared muffin cups about 2/3 full.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Serve warm and enjoy! For reheating, wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30-60 seconds.
