Raspberry, Almond & White Chocolate Muffins are made with a mixture of flour and ground almonds to make them utterly moist and delicious!
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 in 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 with using half ground almonds instead of flour has inspired me to explore other cake ideas so watch this space!

As these Raspberry, Almond & White Chocolate Muffins used up a glut of ingredients that were in danger of going out of date I’m entering them into No Waste Food Challenge over at Elizabeth’s Kitchen Diary.

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:=_
