My favorite fruit has to be raspberries. What is you favorite fruit? So when I was in the store yesterday and I saw raspberries for $0.77 a pint, I had to but them. But what to make? I really like making muffins. I find muffins are very consistent with texture. I like the shape as well because it is easy to hold and it holds up. I also like to take the muffin and pull it apart, piece by piece. The muffin might be the best sweet delivery system. You like that concept? “Sweet delivery system”. Any patent attorneys out there? Can you help me copyright this saying?

the lemon? just the shavings or juice also?
I used just the juice but you could certainly add a little zest from the lemon which would add some nice tartness to the muffin.
Since I first discovered sour cream or yogurt could be used in muffin/loaf/cake recipes, I now always use either or. Adds such wonderful moistness and flavor to many baked goods. These muffins are no exception to that rule and not only look very tasty, but moist as well. Delish pics! Thanks for sharing the recipe and btw, also enjoy the new layout for your recipes.
Thx Trevor. I like the recipe layout now too. So much easier to follow and to print.
