Description

These Lemon Raspberry Swirl Muffins are bright, fluffy, and naturally sweetened with coconut sugar and honey. A gorgeous (and easy) make-ahead recipe for brunches, parties, or poolside snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • juice of 2 lemons
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons local honey or maple syrup
  • muffin liners (or coconut / avocado oil spray)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line 9 muffin cups with paper liners (or spray with coconut oil or avocado oil spray).
  2. Make the batter : In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, coconut sugar, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, baking soda, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well combined.
  3. Distribute the batter evenly among the 9 muffin wells.
  4. Make the raspberry swirl : In a blender, purée raspberries with honey or maple syrup. Use a spoon to add about 1 tablespoon of purée to each muffin, then swirl gently using a knife or toothpick.
  5. Bake for 25 – 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
  6. Cool for 5 – 10 minutes before removing from the tin. Garnish with fresh raspberries or extra lemon zest if desired.

Notes

  • Swap raspberries for blueberries or blackberries if you’d like.
  • Add extra lemon zest on top after baking for an additional pop of flavor.
  • Store in the fridge or freezer for easy grab-and-go snacks.
