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.

    I just made these with chopped fresh cherries instead of raspberries. They were pretty awesome. Next time I think I’d toss in some slivered almonds as well…

    Katie, this is my new favorite breakfast! I had blueberries on hand and made a blueberry version that was WONDERFUL! Thanks for making such great healthy recipes.

  3. Cathy says

    I have so many raspberry bushes and soooo many raspberries and I never get tired of them! I will definitely try them in this recipe. Thanks Katie.

    I’m a new fan! So far- everything has been fabulous! Can u up this for more than 2 muffins?? I can’t imagine just making 2!!! I want more!!!

  5. Chocoholic says

    I just gotta know….
    How does everything you try in the kitchen turn out perfectly??? I tried making my own healthy oatmeal pancakes once and they turned out to be piles of mush…. so I can’t even imagine doing muffins and pies and cakes!!!!!!!!!!!

      LOL it doesn’t! I tried to send you an email of my most-recent cooking failure, but it bounced back. It was a photo of the kitchen pot completely engulfed in flames ;). Hope that makes you feel better about your cooking skills!

    These muffins were so easy to throw together and both me and my daughter loved them. I sprinkled a little powdered sugar on hers and a very tiny bit on mine. I probably could have done without the powdered sugar. Thanks for posting these much healthier versions of yummy treats!

    I made these and mine turned out a sort of blueish-grey. I also had to cook them a pot longer than you said and even increased the temp at one point because they just went cooking… I have no idea what went wrong because I followed your recipe exactly. They tasted okay I just couldn’t really taste the raspberry

    • Chocolate Covered Katie says

      Hi Madison,
      Be sure to read the Recipe FAQ page. If you still can’t figure out what might’ve gone wrong after reading the page, be sure to reply back here, listing specific ingredients you used so I can try and help.

    I made these with 1/4 cup freeze dried blueberries with 1/4 cup water added to replace the raspberries (husband doesn’t like raspberries) and they were great! They did need to take a lot longer to cook, using two small glass pyrex dishes with parchment paper as a lining. Thanks for this great recipe, as I was looking for a muffin recipe for ages that didn’t use vinegar.
