Raspberry-Lemon Yogurt Bread

{Well I've been saved by the grace of

southern charm!}

Yep you are correct.

That's Miranda Lambert and this is HER recipe.  Miranda is one of my favorite country singers and while I was laying out by the pool reading about countless workout routines and which lipstick will be in this season in my SELF magazine, I came across this fabulous recipe.  I mean she's a pretty good source too if you ask me, if she can eat this bread and still look the way she does, I'd say I found a winner!

The great thing about this recipe is that there is absolutely no oil and relatively little butter, while fat-free lemon yogurt is used as the perfect substitution.  The combination of fresh raspberries, lemon zest and a touch of vanilla extract also make this bread ooze with flavor.  It's the perfect recipe for your next Sunday brunch and makes great leftovers to have with your Monday morning coffee.  Hope you love this as much as we did!
