Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line 2 holes of a 6-hole muffin tin with paper cases, filling the remaining 4 holes halfway with water.
2
Whisk the whole wheat flour, cake flour, baking powder, salt and whey protein isolate together in a bowl, breaking up any lumps in the powder.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk the sugar, orange zest, lemon zest, sunflower oil, greek yogurt, beaten egg, orange juice, lemon juice and vanilla extract until smooth and lightly emulsified.
4
Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients with a spatula until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
5
Gently fold in half the raspberries, keeping some whole so they stay distinct in the crumb.
6
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared muffin cases, filling each about two-thirds full, and press the remaining raspberries into the tops.
7
Bake for 18-20 minutes until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean and the tops spring back when pressed.
8
Cool the muffins in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
