Easy raspberry almond muffins just in time for summer break. Are you looking for ideas of what to feed your kids this summer? Easy raspberry almond muffins are great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. You might even want to have them for a snack.
It is about time for raspberries and if you have raspberry bushes (that your dog didn’t eat,):( you just might want to make some of these amazing muffins. I love pumpkin chocolate chip muffins in the fall, but in the spring, you just cannot beat easy raspberry almond muffins.
However if you have felt lazy like me lately, you just might want to try mountain man crock pot breakfast. It is fast and easy and it cooks all night; that way when you get up in the morning, your breakfast is hot and ready to go.
Can I Use Frozen Raspberries Instead of Fresh in my Easy Raspberry Almond Muffins?
- Generally, speaking, you can use fresh and frozen berries interchangeably in your baking recipes, but you may need to make a few tweaks to ensure it comes out perfectly.
- Frozen berries will lower the temperature of your mixture considerably, so you may need to increase cooking times by 5 minutes to make sure it is cooked through.
- For best results in your baking, don’t defrost the berries before use but instead toss them in flour.
- The flour will stop them from sinking to the bottom of your mixture in the oven and can also stop them from bursting or their color from bleeding.

How Do I Make Easy Raspberry Almond Muffins?
Here’s the simple steps you’ll follow to make these muffins (scroll down for the full recipe):
- Spray a regular sized muffin pan or line with papers.

- Then add the eggs and the extract.
- Stir in yogurt, then slowly add flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and milk, alternating just until they mixture is combined.
- Fold the raspberries in gently.
- Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full.
- Bake @ 375 degrees for 18-20 minutes.
Should I Grease Nonstick Muffin Pans?
- Yes. Spray the nonstick muffin pans lightly with nonstick cooking spray and then run a paper towel around the muffin cup so it is not too saturated.
- If you spray too much, the bottom of your muffins can go soggy.
Why Did my Muffins Stick to the Cupcake Liners?
- The liners stick to your muffins due to a lack of moisture inside the oven.
- To prevent the liners from sticking you can add a rimmed sheet pan to the bottom rack of your oven with a small amount of water in it to create the moisture needed so the liners won’t stick.
Why Did my Easy Raspberry Almond Muffins Go Flat?
- First of all, make sure that you put all of the ingredients in (like the baking soda and baking powder).
- If you did not leave out any of the ingredients and your muffins still went flat, something went wrong in the cell structure of the muffins.
- This could be caused from the oven not being hot enough.
- If this happens adjust the temperature of your oven up from 375 to 400.
- You may need to reduce the baking time, so watch the muffins carefully.
Enjoy your easy raspberry almond muffins and your summer!
