Raspberry Muffins

My another experiment with baking is raspberry muffins. I adapted this recipe from here and reduced the quantity of ingredients in to half as I prepared only for me and my husband. I used fresh raspberries and with the batter you can make 6-7 muffins. Instead of raspberry, you can also use strawberry, blueberry and blackberry. Good thing is you can also use whole wheat flour instead of all purpose flour. But I used only all purpose flour.

Did you know? Raspberries are high in vitamin ‘C’ content and it has about 50% of the recommended daily allowance.
