Instructions

3. In another bowl, mix the eggs, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until combined.
5. Fold in the raspberries carefully so they stay mostly intact.
6. Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups.

Tips for Best Results

A few simple tips can make all the difference in this almond oat muffins recipe:

• Fold the raspberries in gently so they keep their shape and do not color the batter too much.

• If using frozen raspberries, add them straight from the freezer if needed, as this helps prevent extra moisture.

• Do not overmix the batter once the wet and dry ingredients are combined, so the muffins stay tender.

• Watch the baking time closely since almond flour can dry out if baked too long. The tops should look lightly golden and the center should feel set.

• Let the muffins cool before eating because the texture becomes even better as they settle.

• Oat flour can be replaced with finely ground rolled oats.
