Almond Raspberry Muffins

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Almond Raspberry Muffins.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, take a baking sheet and spread out your sliced almonds in a single layer.

3. Step 3

   Pop them in the oven for about 5 to 10 minutes, keeping an eye on them until they turn a lovely light golden color.

4. Step 4

   Once they’re perfectly toasted, lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 6-cup jumbo muffin pan to ensure your muffins come out easily.

5. Step 5

   In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, 3/4 cup of those delicious toasted almonds, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.

6. Step 6

   In a separate bowl, whisk together warm water, almond extract, melted butter, and beaten eggs until everything is well blended and inviting.

7. Step 7

   Now, pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined—don’t worry if it’s a little lumpy! Carefully fold in the frozen raspberries, adding a burst of fruity goodness to your batter.

8. Step 8

   Next, spoon the batter into your prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

9. Step 9

   For a delightful finishing touch, sprinkle the remaining toasted almonds on top of the batter.

10. Step 10

    Bake your muffins in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
