    I added flaked almonds to give this recipe some crunchiness and some powdered sugar to give it more sweetness.

    Healthy Raspberry Muffin Recipe

    This recipe is straightforward and so simple. It doesn't even need an electric mixer; you can mix all the ingredients by hand. The recipe is also versatile; it uses homemade sour milk; if you like, you can use store-bought or even replace it with yoghurt. These raspberry muffins are utterly delicious and soft. They are perfect for breakfast with a cup of tea, my children love them so much, and they even take them in lunchboxes to school.

    Is it better to use frozen or fresh raspberries?

    Using fresh or frozen raspberries is a personal preference; for me, I love to bake these muffins with fresh raspberries. I believe it gives a better flavour and texture to the muffins. If you prefer using frozen raspberries, that is fine just don't use them frozen, make sure to defrost them then pat them dry with a paper towel to get rid of all the excess water.

    Ingredients You Will Need

    Ingredients
    • Plain flour: Measure the flour correctly; if the flour is more than required, you will end up with dry muffins.
    • Baking powder and baking soda: Both help in providing a significant rise to the muffins.
    • Vanilla extract: It gives a nice flavour to the muffins.
    • White vinegar: Necessary for making sour milk by adding one tablespoon of vinegar to a cup of milk.
    • Milk: I used full-fat milk; it gives moisture and flavour to the muffins. You can also use non-dairy milk if you prefer.
    • Oil: I like using oil because it provides softness and moisture to the muffins. You can use sunflower oil, vegetable oil or coconut oil.
      Feel free to use melted butter instead or combine both.
    • Egg: I always prefer using large eggs in baking and at room temperature.
    • Granulated sugar: It provides sweetness to the muffins. You can use caster sugar instead.
    • Fresh raspberries: Use fresh Raspberries.
    • Flaked almond: It is optional; I used it for adding some crunchiness and flavour to the muffins.
