Whip up a batch of these Greek Yogurt Raspberry Muffins for easy breakfasts and school lunch boxes! They are sweetened with honey and made with 100% whole wheat flour for an extra healthy kick.
It is no secret that I love a good muffin.
And a dessert-like Blueberry Muffin just as much as a healthier Raspberry Oatmeal Muffin ?
But I’ve been getting lots of requests for refined sugar free and 100% whole wheat muffins from back to school planning moms – and these Greek Yogurt Raspberry Muffins are just perfect for this!
They are adapted from my Greek Yogurt Blueberry Muffins, which are just as good but do use a little sugar.
How to Make Healthy Raspberry Muffins:
Wait a minute – can you really bake with Greek Yogurt?
Yes, you can!
Greek yogurt is awesome in healthy baked goods, because it keeps them moist and adds a bit of protein.
You won’t be able to taste it much, but it helps to make a really delicious muffin.
And you’re only using honey as a sweetener?
Yes, that’s right!
No refined sugar is in this recipe, only honey.
This means you’ll want to watch the muffins closely so they don’t burn – honey baked goods are more sensitive to heat.
Can you use frozen raspberries in muffins?
You sure can!
In fact, I greatly prefer using frozen berries when I bake.
Fresh ones are jus too good to be eaten straight from the garden ?
There’s no need to defrost frozen berries before adding them to the muffin batter.
How thick should muffin batter be?
This muffin batter is fairly thick to support the weight of the berries.
But it shouldn’t be too thick and paste-like.
If you’re concerned yours might be too thick, just add a few tablespoons of milk and gently fold it in a few times.
Can you freeze these raspberry muffins?
Most definitely! I almost always have a few batches of muffins in my freezer.
Simply place them in a freezer friendly container, label them with the name and use-by date (freeze for up to 3 months).
To defrost, place the muffins on a rack on the counter for 30-60 minutes.

Darlene says
Can you use AP flour instead of whole wheat..I have so many frozen raspberries to use up but don’t have whole wheat flour on hand
Nora says
Darlene, absolutely! If the batter seems too thin, add an extra tablespoon of flour. Otherwise, these work perfectly with all-purpose flour.
Jill says
Really good! I added dark chocolate chips and I found that they cut the tartness of the raspberries really deliciously 🙂
Kayleigh says
Nice recipe, easy to put together and not too sweet. I feel comfortable giving to my one year old. Unfortunately these REALLY stuck to the paper liners. Will try this recipe again without liners. Likely the stickage was from the moist-ness of the muffins?
Alyssa says
Do you have to use butter milk? I’m lactose intolerant.
Nora Rusev says
Alyssa, you can use lactose free milk. Stir a teaspoon of white wine vinegar OR lemon juice into the milk to replace the acid from the buttermilk. If you don’t want to use milk at all, you can absolutely try almond milk or even orange juice. With the almond milk, I definitely recommend adding the vinegar or lemon juice as well. Hope that helps!
