Lightly sweetened Orange Raspberry Muffins are lightened up with reduced sugar and white whole wheat flour for a wholesome breakfast treat or snack!

Orange Raspberry Muffins

Life got busy last week and I wasn’t able to get this last “muffin week” recipe posted! Between buying a new car during what’s usually my work hours, a short week because of Marc’s annual ski race, life was just a little crazy. Regardless, I can’t wait to share this Raspberry Orange Muffin recipe with you!

These orange muffins, like my Whole Wheat Lemon Muffins, are such a bright and cheery treat to start off your morning! The orange zest adds so much flavor to these muffins and the bites raspberries are pure perfection.

Ingredients in Raspberry Orange Muffins

Sugar – reduced from the usual 3/4 to 1 cup in a muffin recipe to 1/2 cup, makes these lightly sweet but not overly so!

Canola Oil – I love using canola oil for a tender muffin.

Buttermilk

Orange Zest – gives these muffins their orange flavor!

Egg

Vanilla

White Whole Wheat Flour – for some whole grains!

Baking Powder, Baking Soda, and Salt

These muffins are pretty simple to whip up. They require one bowl and just a little bit of whisking and mixing.

First, you whisk together the buttermilk, oil, sugar, zest, egg, and vanilla. Then add in the dry ingredients – white whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Lastly, fold in the raspberries. I used fresh raspberries but you can definitely use frozen if you’d like!

After a quick 18-20 minutes in the oven, these muffins are perfectly golden and absolutely delicious eaten warm from the oven. I love mine with a pat of butter on top, while Lars likes his with some extra raspberry jam!

However you eat them, they are delicious. They were great for a quick breakfast and after school snack.
