It’s Nursery Rhyme Week in our house, so I thought that the perfect snack for the boys would be some muffins…while we sing “Do you Know the Muffin Man?…”
As the weather is getting warmer, I’m seeing more and more berries on the shelves at our local shops and farmer’s markets. I can’t think of a better way to enjoy some fresh raspberries than in these Raspberry Coconut Muffins. They are some of the best muffins that you will ever have!
I first made these to serve with Easter brunch, when the weather was still cool and there was even snow in our forecast. Since ripe raspberries weren’t an affordable option back in March, I opted to use thawed, frozen raspberries instead. They worked great!
You can also turn this batter into a loaf bread by pouring it into a loaf pan and baking it for a longer amount of time (about 45-55 minutes). I went with the muffins because (1) they’re perfectly sized for individual portions – no slicing required, and (2) I’m impatient and they cook faster!
