Raspberry Marzipan Muffins… for two!


Good morning sunshine.

Sweet red raspberries.

This morning, I made a batch of Raspberry-Marzipan Muffins.

For sure, one of my favorite muffin recipes.

I’d forgotten how incredible these muffins are!! I could easily eat the batter with a spoon. Or rather, I do often eat the batter with a spoon… and then I am surprised when my muffins are small!

Bad, bad lighting so early in the morning… but there was no way I wanted to prolong eating my muffin to wait for the sunshine. Would you have that much self-control, with a homemade muffin staring you in the face??? Anyway, they were still prettier than the last ones.

Your Choice:

  • Peanut Butter Milkshake
  • Hot Chocolate Lava Cake
  • Photography Tips post
  • Cinnamon-Raisin Bread
  • EDIT! Flourless chocolate chip cookies! A reader reminded me that I’d listed these in the last “your choice” post, and then I forgot to post them. So sorry for the forgetfulness… I will post them tomorrow. Promise!

What would you like to see next?

Tomorrow’s post will be for whichever gets the most votes.

Also, I did start to write the photography post, but it turns out I have too many thoughts for just one post. I’d bore y’all to tears! Instead, would there be enough interest in a weekly “photography tips” post? (If not, that’s ok too!)

P.S. In case you were wondering, the muffin is topped with Vanilla-Fudge Frosting.

    Your pictures are gorgeous !! I need to find strawberries and make this recipe :).

    Btw, is the frosting your tofu-cashew butter recipe ? It looks SO yummy ! As I can’t find fim siken tofu here in France, I may try soft silken tofu but I wonder the frosting will be runny…

      Nope, it’s the vanilla-fudge frosting linked at the very end of this post :).

    Hi Katie,
    I love your blog! I tell all my friends about it :).
    You like chocolate even more than I do! I love all your photos, too, and your recipes :).
    Pb milkshake sounds sooooo good!

    I do want the photography tips, but tomorrow I would like the lava cake!!!!!

    First, the vote: Hot Chocolate Lava Cake! Definitely. The Molten Chocolate Lava Cake from Chili’s that my family used to order when we went there sometimes was divine… Of course, it’s also probably one of the absolute worst desserts you can put into your body. I’m not sure I even want to think about the ingredients for that one… But a Lava Cake that has been CCK-ified?! I’m 100% interested and all for that! 🙂

    Hmm I’ve never had marzipan. What does it taste like?! Is it sweet? Well anything with raspberries is bound to be delicious, although raspberry season has sadly already come and gone up here… I can’t believe summer is almost over! I loved all your summer creations, but also look forward to whatever fall-themed recipes you might come up with this year. 😀

    Hope you have a great week ahead of you!

      It is sweet… marzipan is just almond meal and sugar (I think). I just use almond extract in this recipe, for the same taste :).

    So pretty!

  9. Melissa says:

    That is a gorgeous muffin! I wouldn’t have been able to keep my paws off of it, either–and a warm muffin at that! Nothing better.

    Lava cake. Now and forever. Amen.

    I’d definitely like to see a chocolate lava cake. I was browsing through my local grocery store and found one but it was RIDICULOUSLY terrible for you, and I’d love to see a healthy alternative 🙂 Keep up the good work!
