Ingredients
2 1/4 c. all-purpose flour (or half whole wheat flour + half all-purpose)
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 c. sugar
1/2 cup liquid coconut oil
1 cup greek yogurt or sour cream (at room temp)
2 large eggs (at room temp)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon juice
10 drops lemon vitality essential oil
1 1/2 cups (12 oz) fresh or frozen raspberries
Directions
Place a rack near the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a muffin pan with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, oil, yogurt (or sour cream), eggs, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Continue to whisk until the sugar dissolves. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and fold until just combined. Do not over mix.
Fold in the raspberries.
Divide the muffin batter into the muffin pans and bake for 18 – 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the muffin comes out clean with just a few crumbs. Let muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a cooling rack.
