Almond and Raspberry Muffins
The ideal muffin for festive breakfasts, a delicious snack, or simply a sweet moment of goodness. The intense and welcoming aroma of almonds, with their delicate and buttery flavor, perfectly combines with the inviting fragrance of raspberries, creating an intoxicating and flavorful muffin that promises an unparalleled sensory experience.
Imagine savoring the soft dough, enriched with pieces of toasted almonds, while the raspberry jam offers freshness and a hint of acidity, creating a perfect balance. These muffins are not just sweets, but a true journey through the flavors and aromas of our kitchen.
The almonds, versatile dried fruits, are used in Italy in the preparation of rich and flavorful pastries, bringing with them a centuries-old history and unmatched nutritional richness. Thanks to their protein and healthy fat content, they not only enrich the taste of sweets, but also nourish the body beneficially. On the other hand, the raspberries, small red jewels that evoke sun and forests, bring with them the freshness of summer. Their natural sweetness, combined with a tangy note, makes these fruits the ideal ingredient for many recipes, transforming each bite into a moment not only of sweetness but also of sensory well-being

Tools
I always use many small bowls because I prepare all the ingredients first to proceed without too many hiccups; you will need a bowl to mix the batter and a muffin tray for the oven
- Baking Sheets
- Mixers
- Scales
Steps
Once you have weighed all the ingredients the game is almost done!
As suggested above, prepare all the ingredients first to proceed quickly and not have to stop and start again.
In the bowl, combine all the liquid parts: eggs, milk, oil, and give a first blend, not to whip, but just to emulsify
Then add the dry ingredients: flour mixed with sifted baking powder, almond flour, and sugar; mix with the blender for 2-3 minutes to obtain a homogeneous mixture.
Pour into the cups already placed in the tray
And add a teaspoon of jam for each muffin
Distribute the sugar crystals and bake in a preheated oven at a temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes. Try not to open the oven, except towards the end for the toothpick test. Once you get a nice browned color, you can remove them.
Your delicious muffins are ready!
Beautiful and delicious with a soft and fragrant interior
Store your muffins…
On a tray for a few days. They will stay soft for at least three days; then they will lose a bit of fragrance, but they will remain delicious, but you won’t have that problem😜😁
FAQ (Questions and Answers)
Any doubts?!
Can I use plant-based milk?
Yes, you can substitute with plant-based milk, I have already tried with oat milk.
Can I use gluten-free flour?
Yes, you can use gluten-free flour, the texture will be slightly less soft, but they will be just as good. I recommend using a flour with characteristics already known to you. Sometimes they absorb liquids differently between various brands.
