Yum! These were so delicious. I loved the fresh raspberries and icing on top. The original recipe says it only makes 8 muffins but I got 12. These tasted a lot like breakfast cake but in muffin form! Love it. I also didn't' have any buttermilk in the fridge but I learned that you can make your own.

Via Taste of Home: There are a number of substitutes for buttermilk in baking. For each cup of buttermilk, you can use 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice plus enough milk to measure 1 cup. Stir, then let stand for 5 minutes. You can also use 1 cup of plain yogurt or 1-3/4 teaspoons cream of tartar plus 1 cup milk.
