It probably hasn’t escaped your notice that it will be Mother’s Day on Sunday 15th March so I thought I would make some muffins that children could bake for or with their mums.
When I think of mums I think of pink so the raspberries that were sitting in my freezer came to mind. Then there was the abundance of ground and flaked almonds left over from Christmas which I thought would go perfectly and finally white chocolate to contrast the tartness of the raspberries!

My husband doesn’t eat berries and my daughter when she heard I’d baked said “Great, it doesn’t have fruit in it though”?
But who wolfed down 2 muffins on the same day, yep, they did as well as myself and my son!
I’ve never had ground almonds in a muffin before but they give a lovely hint of marzipan flavour and as everyone who knows me will tell you, I’m a huge marzipan fan.
My experiment using half-ground almonds instead of flour has inspired me to explore other cake ideas so watch this space!

Thanks Olivia:-)
Janette@culinaryginger
I’d one of these right now with my morning tea, they look delicious.
Alison Johnson
These do look very tasty & would make a good change from the traditional plain choc chip muffins I end up making every Saturday. Not sure I would put the flaked almonds on the top as my son would pick at them & complain. The almonds inside he’d never know about!
Camilla
Thanks Alison;-) You could always just decorate half with almonds, I often taylor food here to different tastes eg blackberries at one end of an apple crumble:=_
Karen Herbert
Going to make these tonight they look delicious!

What a fantastic combination of flavours, and the colour of the muffins is so pretty. I would love someone to make me these.
Camilla
Thank you Laura:-)
kellie@foodtoglow
I think of pink too, although my Mother’s day recipe involves parsnips – LOL! These look fantastic but I don’t think I could make and share them. Unless it was two batches, of course. I might drop a hint to my daughter…
Camilla
Thanks:-) Ah but I’ve already thought of this Kellie – the recipe makes 18 so enough to hand out and keep (or freeze)!
Jacqueline Meldrum
I saw the first photo and thought Mmmmmm, then I saw the cut into one and I was gone. Just gorgeous!
Camilla
LOL, thanks Jacqueline, I always want to see inside cakes as that’s where the yumminess shows:-)
Lucy - BakingQueen74
These look so fruity and light, I wish my children would make me a batch!
Camilla
Aah, thanks Lucy:-)
Iris
These look so tempting – I might bake a batch and then send my mum the recipe, that’s the only way to share them with a sea between us 😛 Mother Day isn’t until May in Italy, but any excuse to spread the love for muffins is good, right?
Camilla
Good thinking Iris:-)
PeterDelicious
I love these types of recipes – clear outs! I just made a yogurt pot cake with cornmeal that was just hanging around, and I prefer it to the non-cornmeal version.
Camilla
Thanks Peter, it’s so cathartic too:-)
Nayna Kanabar (@SIMPLYF00D)

Michelle @ Greedy Gourmet
Yikes, I didn’t even know mother’s day was around the corner. This would be great to be served in bed on the special day. I wish!
Camilla
Wouldn’t it just but I’ll settle for some toast happily:-)
Jeanne Horak-Druiff
Oh I do love the combo of white chocolate and raspberries! Such a lovely summery recipe to go with today’s mild weather 🙂
Camilla
It’s a combo I’ve wanted to make before but fell short of one of the ingredients so got there in the end:-)
Margot @ Coffee & Vanilla
And thank you for sharing my smurfy muffins, too 🙂
Margot @ Coffee & Vanilla
Oh, how delicious! Nothing better than healthy, fruity muffins to go with coffee in the morning 🙂
Camilla
Exactly Margot, any cake with fruit in has to be healthy doesn’t it:-)!
Karen
Hi, these look lovely but the instructions mention oil but oil is not one of the ingredients listed. Is there oil in these
& if so, how much? Thanks!
Camilla
Shall ammend immediately, thanks for letting me know!
