Description

Incredibly moist and fluffy raspberry muffins made in 1 bowl with frozen raspberries! Chock full of nourishing ingredients like whole grain oat and almond flour, Greek yogurt (each muffin packs ~6g protein, yay!), extra virgin olive oil, and pure maple syrup. On the table in just 30 minutes! Recipe makes 12 muffins.

Note: I live at high altitude in Colorado; your muffins will be taller than mine!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • zest of 1 large lemon
  • 1 1/4 cups packed almond flour (163g)
  • 1 1/4 cups oat flour (124g)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 1/4 cups frozen raspberries, roughly chopped (do not thaw)*
  • optional but delish: 1 tbsp raw sugar, for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a muffin tin well with oil spray or line with paper liners.
  2. Place yogurt, eggs, maple syrup, olive oil, vanilla, and lemon zest in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until completely smooth.
  3. Add almond flour (make sure it's packed in there!), oat flour (spooned and leveled), baking soda, and salt. Use a whisk or rubber spatula to mix until almost combined. Don't over-mix. It will be very thick, don't worry!
  4. Give raspberries a rough chop (this helps for better distribution and even moisture). Gently fold them into the batter with a rubber spatula.
  5. Portion batter into muffin tin, filling each one nearly to the top (I use a handy muffin scoop). I like to sprinkle each one with a pinch of sugar for sparkly, crisp tops (these are not overly sweet muffins).
  6. Bake for 24-25 min, or until a toothpick comes out clean and tops are golden brown. Cool in pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Store covered on the counter for 2 days then refrigerate.

Notes

*My frozen raspberries had lots of broken pieces when measuring. If yours are mostly whole, use closer to 1 1/2 cups. 

Adapted from my healthy lemon poppyseed bread. If you're a huge lemon fan, you can double the zest!

Dairy-free: use a thick Greek-style dairy free yogurt, like Forager.

If you don't have raw sugar, snag a little bag from a coffee shop 🙂
