Raspberry Almond Muffins
Our dietitians' favourite

Preparation
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter nonstick muffin pans or line with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, ground almonds, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, whisk together egg, sugar, milk, yogurt, butter and vanilla. Pour over dry ingredients; sprinkle with raspberries and chopped almonds and stir just until moistened.
Spoon into prepared muffin pan; lightly press a whole almond on top of each. Bake for about 25 min or until tops are firm to the touch. Let cool in pan for 5 min. Transfer to rack to cool completely.
Tips
These muffins are best enjoyed within a day of baking. Wrap extra cooled muffins individually and freeze in an airtight container for up to a month.
Use blackberries in place of raspberries or a mixture; add 2 tsp (10 mL) grated lime zest with vanilla.
