Double Chocolate Raspberry Almond Muffins. These bakery size breakfast treats feature semisweet chocolate, white chocolate, fresh raspberries, almond butter, sliced almonds, and vanilla bean paste. Best served fresh from the oven with a smattering of butter or raspberry jam.
While I’m not known to eat too many raspberries out of hand, I do love to bake and create desserts with them. They pair well with other berries, with citrus, with stone fruits. Nuts, chocolate and spice love raspberries. Their sweet, tart flavor, and vivid rich red color are highly desirable and fun to put to.
Raspberries are particularly perishable, so it is wise to have an idea of what you will be doing with your berries before procuring them. The berries are generally packaged in a single layer to protect them from crushing each other. Raspberries are hollow so rinsing the berries can mean they retain a good bit of that water inside their hollow shape.
When I have berries past their prime, I will turn them into raspberry puree, sauce, or compote and extend their useful life. These mixes and blends are delicious on their own, and incredibly handy for topping desserts, tart making, cake filling, flavoring frostings, etc.

How To Make These Double Chocolate Raspberry Almond Muffins
This muffin batter comes together with a few bowls, a whisk, and a spatula.
All-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder and sea salt are combined in one bowl, whisked and set aside.
Milk and fresh lemon juice are combined in a second bowl, or measuring cup, and set aside.
Melted butter, almond butter, vegetable oil, and vanilla bean paste are combined in a third bowl, whisked to combine and set aside.
Sugar and egg are whisked together until smooth in a fourth bowl. The milk mixture is added to this sugar mixture and whisked until well combined. The butter mixture is added to the sugar mixture and whisked until well combined.
The sugar mixture is added to the flour mixture and folded in until few visible streaks of flour remain. Fresh raspberries, sliced almonds, white chocolate, and semisweet chocolate are folded in. Avoid over mixing. A few lumps are okay.
The muffin batter is divided evenly into a prepared 6-cup jumbo or 12-cup regular muffin tin. The muffins are baked in a hot oven until golden, firm to the touch, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The muffins are cooled on a wire rack. Leftover muffins are stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
