Hey hi so I'm just over here dreaming of spring. It's gotten to that point in winter where I'm extremely over it. The holidays are over, the snow is all gone, it's still cold and it just rains and rains and rains...No sun ever. I've been sitting in front of my Vitamin D lamp to make sure I get enough 🌞 (doctor's orders I'm not even joking).
While I wait for warmer weather, I just pretend it's already here with springtime flavors. Sometimes it works 🤣. Current fave? Some quick and easy raspberry poppy seed muffins!
Fast, simple, flavorful, and full of color. Perfect for these dreary, cold winter days!
I have just one piece of advice with this recipe. Gently, gently, gently fold in the raspberries. Otherwise they get all smooshed and you wind up with pink muffins of a slightly different texture (too much liquid).
Otherwise, simple as can be! Scroll down for the raspberry poppy seed muffins recipe.

These even look like spring! The weather has warmed a bit in my neck of the woods, so I'm looking for lighter recipes to go with the almost spring-like temps

Would love to make these if you have a Vegan option. 🙂

This recipe was so easy to make!! And it turned out delicious 🤤
I swapped the 2 cups of raspberries for 1cup of raspberries and 1 cup of blueberries cause that's all I had. I also didn't have any yogurt so I added a tablespoon of soft butter instead and it's still fluffy and delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe xx
