These mini raspberry and almond muffins are sweet treats in miniature size.

These mini raspberry and almond muffins are ideal for making in early summer as this is when raspberries are at their ripest and ready to pick. It's at this time that the raspberries will naturally be sweeter and juicer too, so when they're combined with the creamy smoothness of the almonds. They create a really perfect flavour combination. Still light and not too filling but perfect for hitting that afternoon craving. There's no reason why you couldn't make these with frozen raspberries though, just be sure to defrost them first.

Ingredients

  • 3 medium free-range eggs
  • 125g corn oil

  • 300g self-raising flour

  7. Bake for 25-30 mins until risen, golden and springy to the touch.
