Making the Lemon and Raspberry Muffins

Let’s start with the almonds. I like to use raw whole almonds and grind them myself using a food processor. That way the entire almond is being used. But if you prefer, you can use store bought almond meal. That generally is made with blanched almonds, so the skin of the almond is taken off before they are ground.

Processing the Almonds for the Low Carb Muffins

Using a food processor blend the almonds into a coarse ground almond meal. Add the coconut flour, tapioca flour, baking powder, and salt, and pulse a couple of times so that it all gets mixed together.

Ground almonds

Once the dry ingredients are ready, we can get the liquid mix ready. In a large bowl, whip the egg using a whisk or a fork. Add the milk, sugar, and oil to the bowl and mix everything together. Now we are ready to make the muffin batter mix.

Baking the Gluten Free and Vegan Muffins

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Add the almond meal mixture to the bowl and using a spatula mix everything together. Using a zester, zest the lemon into the bowl. At the same time, add the lemon juice and the raspberries to the bowl. Mix them in gently while ensuring that the raspberries don’t break apart. The burst of flavor from the whole raspberries will be amazing.

Ready to bake lemon and raspberry muffins

Line a muffin tray with 12 muffin liners and pour the muffin mix into the liners. Bake the muffins for about 20 minutes. Dip a toothpick into the center of the muffin and if it comes out clean, the muffins are ready.

Let them cool down for a couple of minutes in the muffin tray and then move them to a cookie tray and let them cool down completely. Enjoy with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
