Raspberry Cream Cheese Muffins

Adam & I had a breakfast meeting for the upcoming youth retreat that we are leading at the end of August. I wanted something that was delicious but healthy so I turned to Cooking Light and found these awesome Raspberry Cream Cheese Muffins. I had everything I needed except buttermilk, which I picked up at the store. These were so good! I got a ton of compliments on them. The cream cheese really adds a nice fluffiness and the slight tartness of the raspberries compliments the sweetness of the muffin so nicely.

I also have to say that I used raspberries that I grew!! I planted a raspberry bush 3 years ago. The first year I was certain that it died, but it came back last year, though didn’t produce enough fruit to make anything. Well this year it produced a ton of raspberries and grew so big it was almost out of control!! I can’t believe I grew these!

I pretty much followed the recipe exactly, so here is the link to the recipe on Cooking Light. I did omit the walnuts, however, because I don’t like nuts in my muffins. I’m sure you could substitute the raspberries for any other type of berry as well. Hope you enjoy!

    I have no idea where I came across your site from… Just perusing I guess…

    These look delicious and I can’t wait to try them! Do you think that they would work well in a mini muffin pan… I’m assuming yes but I’m always nervous about making any variation…

    Thanks – Tonya Lynn

  3. The pictures are wonderful, but the mouthwatering title alone would've gotten my attention.

    And congratulations on growing and using your own berries. I have raspberry bushes growing in my backyard, Unfortunately the wildlife seems to love them just as much as I do, if not more.

  4. These look delicious – I am can imagine what a wonderful addition the cream cheese is!

    Thank you all! Tonya Lynn – I am sure you could put them in mini muffin pans, you might just have to reduce the baking time.
