Or halve the recipe if you’re single.
The Raspberry Diet
I think I’d really like that diet… the “eat as many raspberries as is humanly possible” diet. Lately, I’ve not only been eating them plain, but also in oatmeal, truffles, raw fudge cake, and now muffins:
Raspberry Marzipan Muffins
(makes 2 muffins)
- 6 tbsp flour (I use 60g spelt or ww pastry)
- 1 and 1/2 tbsp veg oil or coconut oil (You can sub applesauce, if you like the taste of fat-free muffins)
- 3 tbsp liquid (I used almond milk)
- 1/4 cup chopped (or smushed) raspberries
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp pure almond extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/16 tsp salt
- Sweetener (If making these for others, I’d use 2 to 2 and 1/2 tbsp of sugar or 2 packets of stevia. Or, if you want to use liquid sweetener, cut back on the other liquid a little.)
Directions: Preheat the oven to 330 degrees. (Or see note, below, for microwave version.) Mix the ingredients and pour into an oiled (or sprayed) muffin pan. Smooth top of batter. Cook for 12-15ish minutes. If you want to cook this in a microwave, spray or oil two little dishes and microwave 90-ish seconds.

If you made muffins for two, who would get the other?
Do you have any celebrity crushes? I need to re-think my choice of celeb crushes. Previously, Colin Firth and Denzel Washington made the list. But then I discovered they’re older than my dad… 😕 Perhaps I should forget the celeb crushes and simply share a muffin with the current guy in my life: Henry!
P.S. In case you were wondering, the photographer muffin is topped with Vanilla-Fudge Frosting.
wow just clicked on ur vegan crush link……. I’D TAP DAT!
Oh, hey, I’m on the “Costco Sized Bag of Frozen Strawberries!!!” diet.
Ooh can I join you?
Well, maybe not right now, since I’m freezing my butt off. But when it warms up here!
Hands down my sweetie boyfriend would get the other one: he’s earned it with his good housekeeping habits!
Yummy! I’d eat both myself too. The boyfriend doesn’t appreciate baked goods because he’s insane.
I would totally give mine to Jim Halpert. Yes, he is a fictional character. But I love him all the same. lol
Yummmm…raspberries. A little drizzle(or a lot) of chocolate on top. Perfect!!! hee hee
Yum, those look fantastic! AND healthy! Thanks for the idea!
OHMYGOSH! Those are gorgeous, Katie! Don’t you just love almond extract? Its an obsession of mine…But I NEED to find some raspberries to make this muffin!
And I’m single now, too. YAY for extra muffins 🙂
I never had a celebrity crush…..Idk, but I was never into the whole “celebrity thing.” I was like, “Hello, you’ve never even met these people?!!!” I’d give the other one to my mom-she’s the best 🙂 And she is the one who made me muffins when I was a kid….
I do love it… but nowhere near as much as I *heart* coconut extract!
I’ve never had coconut extract…..Hmmm…I should buy some! I really want to try maple and chocolate extract, too 😉
Pfft. I do *not* share muffins 😉
I love raspberries…have not seen them make an appearance in any grocery stores up here yet, though! 🙁
I actually like the frozen ones, because they end up being cheaper for the same amount :). Plus, they’re sweeter when you thaw ’em!
Those muffins sound amazing Katie – love the addition of almond extract! 🙂
These sound SO delicious girl! I would share them with my dad. 🙂
Don’t tell my boyfriend, but both would be for me 🙂
lolololol funniest comment ever. i can just imagine someone hiding muffins from their boyfriend.
with muffin in mouth: “what muffin? i don’t have a muffin.”
wow they look great! and a fun twist on the single lady cupcakes 😉
happy valentines day in advance!
You’ve outdone yourself again!
I love that we share the same abnormal sweet tooths. The less sweetener, the better!
I would not share my muffins – would eat them both. Shhh, don’t tell CD…and please don’t tell him about my crush on Paul Rudd. 😉
Raspberry muffins are SO up my alley! I’ve been thinking about making grain-free strawberry muffins with coconut flour. Now I really want to try them.
If I made muffins for two I would give one to my husband. And then eat the half that he inevitably won’t finish because he has a teaspoon-sized stomach capacity by nature. 😛
