Raspberry Marzipan Muffins for Two


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.

    If I made muffins for 2, I wouldnt get even 1.

    1 for Scott

    I’d need to make muffins for 3. Or more.
    Leftovers are my bff! haha 🙂

  2. melissa @ the delicate place says:

    these look super! i think i’ll make these for my valentine nate 🙂 we’ve been so busy with moving and everything v-tines day just snuck up on us and we don’t really do anything big so this will be perfect! thanks katie!

  3. Tara says:

    I loooove almond extract! Well, I love the flavor it gives. Marzipan is the best!
    I can never think of a celebrity crush, but there are a lot of good looking guys that I would totally swoon over if you brought them up.

  4. Kat @ Cupcake Kat says:

    Yummy! I’ve been going raspberry crazy lately too. Definately going to try this
    I’m not going to lie if I made muffins for two I would probably eat the second one the next day

  5. Moni'sMeals says:

    Hey Katie! Yes, I think I will make these for my husband if I don’t do pancakes. 🙂 I like your idea of raspberries over blueberries.

    I can’t get enough of your lil recipes for 1 and 2. So Perfect.

  6. Hannah says:

    *gasp* halve the recipe? No way! Part of the joy of being single is never having to share 😉

  7. BroccoliHut says:

    Delicious! I am now craving raspberries like crazy!

  8. Valerie says:

    I made these this morning! Only thing I did differently is double the recipe so each of my kids could have one. With one left over for me, of course! Next time, I’d quadruple the recipe, though. It’s THAT good!!!! 🙂

  9. Embodying Freedom says:

    I’d probably give the other to Edward Norton, or maybe a nice boy with a Scottish/Icelandic accent. Can’t resist a man with an accent!

  10. Sarah (Flavoropolis) says:

    Wow these sound really, really good. Next time I get my hands on some frozen raspberries I’m making these with coconut flour.

  11. J says:

    I have just made and eaten both of these- yum!

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      Haha you’re very very wise to not share ;). I’m so glad you liked them!

  12. CookiePie says:

    YUM – those look amazing! Love love love raspberries and almonds together. I’d give one muffin to my little muffin, my 2-year-old daughter 🙂 and the other one to my husband. Wait – then I don’t get one??!! I guess I’d make my husband share his with me 🙂

  13. Amanda says:

    These look great! We love original recipes at Edward Marc ChocolatesThanks for sharing, I will definitely be trying these later!

  14. Amit says:

    What does the T stand for in the recipe (e.g. 3T liquids)?

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      tablespoon

  15. jenny says:

    I can’t believe these come from a regular sized muffin tin, they look so big and scrumptious! I know people have asked and youve said you used a “regular” pan but a regular 12 muffin or 6 muffin pan?

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      12. It’s probably just an illusion because my photos are super-close-ups. As a comparison of size, look at how big the muffin is compared to the raspberry on top. See, it’s not so big, right? 😉

  16. Alanna says:

    These didn’t turn out well for me. The cupcake was lumpy and unattractive, and it spilled out over the edges of the cupcake liner. (I used a silicone cupcake cup). The taste was okay, but not special like I’d hoped it would be.

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      Can you please tell me what specific ingredients you used? (flour, fat, etc?) It’s frustrating when someone just leaves a comment saying a recipe wasn’t good, without explaination. If you help me see what you did, hopefully I can help see where you went wrong. 🙂
