Rasberry and Lemon Muffins

These are probably the best looking muffins I have ever made. The juice of the raspberries made them very moist and my friend doesn't really like to have muffins very sweet. So I baked them with less amount of sugar than I normally would, this way you can have loads of it and still wouldn't feel tired of eating them. I mean you can have dozens of it and it wouldn't be too sweet. The flavour of lemon is intense in this muffins, highly recommended if you are a citrus lover. Scroll down for the recipe.
