Berries are finally in season! Pick up a pint,and make these moist and naturally sweet muffins. Made with Greek yogurt instead of buttermilk, they're a tasty way to get some protein without all the beefy. These are so light and summery, and with bursts of juicy raspberries - perfect to seize with your morning smoothie or to bake up for a weekend brunch. Each muffin contains 3.2 grams of fiber and 5.4 grams of protein! Fairly substantial for a little muffin,and fairly delicious too.

exhaust a vegetable peeler to remove the zest from the lemon in long strips. Combine the zest and sugar in a food processor; pulse until the zest is very finely chopped into the sugar.
Add yogurt,oil, egg, and vanilla. Pulse until blended.
Combine whole-wheat flour,baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Add the yogurt mixture,and fold until nearly blended. Gently fold in raspberries. Divide the batter (it will be thick) among the muffin cups.
