Raspberry Almond Mini Muffins

I have been making these raspberry almond mini muffins for about 10 years now. My mom and I made these every Easter and now I make them for Easter and throughout the Spring and Summer months. They are incredibly easy to make and so delicious. I often get asked for this recipe so I wanted to share it with all of you!

Mom's Raspberry Almond Mini Muffins

Servings 24 servings
Author Natalie Barnett

Ingredients

  • 2 C flour
  • 2.3 C sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 C butter melted (1 stick)
  • 2/3 C milk
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 tsp pure almond extract
  • 1/4 C raspberry preserves
  • powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees


  2. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl.
  3. Add melted butter, egg, milk, and almond extract to dry ingredients. 

  4. Stir well until combined.
  5. Spray mini muffin pans with cooking spray. 

  6. Scoop about 1 Tbs of batter into each muffin pan and make an indent with your finger in the batter. ( Spray your finger with cooking spray so the batter does not stick to you!)
  7. Press about 1/2 tsp raspberry presses into top of batter.
  8. Gently fold batter over most of the preserves. 

  9. Bake 12-14 minutes or unto golden brown. 
  10. Cool in pan for 5 minutes. 
  11. Once cool, dust powdered sugar just before serving.

My favorite raspberry preserves to use is the [amazon_textlink asin=’B0004MTM9O’ text=’Bonne Maman’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’Newmommasurvival’ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’d56d403c-3b71-11e8-b69c-692da6c7dc22′] brand. You can make these two days before you need them and they will still be rather fresh. But of course, nothing beats them fresh out of the oven! Remember to wait to dust them with powdered sugar just until you are about to serve them.

I hope you enjoy them and would love to hear how they turned out for you!

Have a beautiful day !

    I’m not really fan of raspberry but these look like heaven! I love how you have passed this tradition of making these with your girls. I always loved cooking with my grandma and I love making a few of the ones I grew up with with my girls.

    I love family traditions that involve food! My older daughter enjoys baking with me, but she’s been on a strawberry kick lately. This definitely looks like a yummy recipe we can try together!

    These look really good! Thanks Natalie. I think I will probably try them with several different flavored jams and decide which one my family likes best.

Yesterday we visited @seaquestlynchburg and had su Yesterday we visited @seaquestlynchburg and had such an amazing time ! The highlights were the stingrays showing off and squirting water at us, and the birds eating out of Liam's hand. For Theodore, it was all just fascinating. Every animal got an "ooo" and "awww" and wide eyes and a pudgy little finger pointing at it or a little hand excitedly waving high. 
Then we spent some time at the little toddler play area in the mall where Theo hugged every kid there and had the biggest smile on his face the whole time. 
I would say this week's homeschool field trip was a success!
Next week we're checking out our local library, and the week after that, the children's museum.
It's always so fun to explore a new area. ☺️

I don't always get a few quiet moments to myself, I don't always get a few quiet moments to myself, but when I do, I make the most of it !
I put on a homemaker or homesteading podcast, light a candle, sip hot tea... 
It gives me time to slow down and take deep breaths, and relax a bit. (And I'll be honest, this time often also has a good snack involved or some dark chocolate I hid on the top shelf of the pantry 😆) 

I spent some time yesterday during nap time restocking some herbs in my new apothecary cabinet. I filled jars of nettle, peppermint, red raspberry leaf, and rosemary. These dark amber jars are on Amazon and pretty perfect for storing herbs ! 
I'm dreaming of what herbs I'll be drying from my garden to add to these shelves 🤩

I'm curious- if you use herbs in your home, what are your top 3 most used ?
S'mores, burning brush, snuggling up with a blanke S'mores, burning brush, snuggling up with a blanket, and admiring our new house on the hill. 

We've been busy setting up our new home, finding places for everything, and thrifting some furniture. Theo is already use to the new house and his new room. He loves the playroom in the basement and having a real bath tub! 
Liam had his first playdate on Friday, and we're planning out his lego table this week. Nate has been busy fixing things around the house and helping me hang art and things all over. 
 It feels good to be finding a new rythm again. To have a regular bath night, and cooking big meals we eat around the table my grandpa built. We're dreaming of the garden this Spring, what fencing we can put up for animals, what color to paint the house... 
and it just feels so so good to be in our own home again where we can do what we want and plan and dream for the future.
We got this gorgeous 1964 Thomasville china hutch We got this gorgeous 1964 Thomasville china hutch for $100 off FB marketplace! 🤩 It took 2 trips an hour away to bring this big gal home. 
This is by far my most favorite piece of furniture I've ever owned. My original plan for this piece was to hold and display all my china, tea cups, and table linens. 
But I also needed storage for all my herbs, herbal books, tinctures, salves, etc. I added a few jars of herbs and knew this needed to be a moody apothecary cabinet stat! 
I threw a bunch of other decor and little things I love in there. I'm sure I'll rearrange it a dozen times before I love it. My goal is for two whole shelves to be filled with dried herbs from our garden by Fall. 🤍
I've got candles in a drawer, tablecloths in another, and the top drawer is random things, supplies and tinctures. The right cupboard is holding all my vases & jars,  and the left cupboard is holding all my herbal and homesteading magazines.
 
What is the best FB marketplace find you've scored ?? 
I think this is my favorite!
I stopped by a children's resale store today after I stopped by a children's resale store today after Theo & I finally got in to see a chiropractor. 
Best $18 I've spent, my goodness. He's been going down over and over, giggling and being silly and saying "ooo". When we go to a park, it's hard to get this kid away from the slide, so I would say sliding is one of his hobbies 😆 
I just never want to forget this age. I can barely remember Liam when he was around this age - 17 months old is crazy and exhausting, but so so fun! 
He wants to do what we are doing- putting on his shoes, brushing his teeth, combing his hair... he already wants to be a "big boy" and do things himself, but he still loves his mama sooo much and wants to snuggle all day long. 🤍
