Raspberry Lemon Muffins

Description

This is the perfect muffin – really yummy flavor yet not much sugar. I’ve used different fruits too – blueberries and raspberries are our absolute favorites, but strawberries, peaches, or cherries are good too – frozen or fresh. You can use any kind of yogurt without fruit on the bottom. Easily adaptable to what you have. Hope you enjoy!
