Raspberry Buttermilk Muffins

Happy Valentines Day! I thought today's post would be something pretty and pink, so I present to you these beautiful and delicious raspberry buttermilk muffins. The morning I made these, I scarfed down three two of these babies, and let me tell you: O.M.G. they were good. The barely sweet batter and tart berries work harmoniously together to create this wonderfully cake-y/biscuit-y muffin. Show the person you love how much you care by making them some of these for breakfast!
