These healthy gluten free lemon raspberry muffins make a quick snack or breakfast on the go. The flavor is so bright and delicious!
I love the versatility and convenience of muffins. They’re great to have on hand for a quick snack or breakfast, so I always try to have some in my pantry or freezer.
Raspberry and lemon make one of my favorite flavor combinations. These gluten free lemon raspberry muffins are a popular quick, healthy snack in my house. The taste is so bright and summery.
These muffins are moist and delicious right out of the oven. The lemon zest gives them a great lemony flavor, and the raspberries add just the right amount of tanginess.
Gluten Free Lemon Raspberry Muffin Tips
I like to use fresh raspberries for these muffins. If you use frozen berries, they end up being too wet as a result of the extra moisture in the frozen berries. But if that’s all you have on hand, you can use the frozen berries and cut back a bit on the applesauce.
Blueberries can be substituted with equally delicious results. Again, fresh berries are best.
These gluten free lemon raspberry muffins taste best the day they’re made. Store the muffins at room temperature in an airtight container for up to two days. If you won’t eat them all within a couple days, you can freeze the extras for a day when you need to grab a quick snack. Simply defrost on the counter or in the oven.
