This is a great idea for a muffin, but as a former professional baker I think this recipe needs a little tweaking! First, I added an egg and substituted the water for buttermilk. Some previous users commented that the muffins appeared grayish-- the milk should solve this problem. I also added some cinnamon and vanilla extract to help the flavor-- not too much, you don't want to overpower the almond! I used about 1 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp vanilla. Hope that helps everyone, they turned out great for me!! - 30 Jul 2008 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
These muffins are great! I used only 1tsp almond extract and be sure the raspberries are still frozen when you put them in the mix. This will avoid the "gray" color. Also just lightly fold the berries in. - 16 May 2006 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
I loved this recipie. Almonds are my favorite nut, and Raspberries are my favorite berry, so this is the perfect combination for me. Toasting the almonds really brought out the flavor. I added a bit more almond extract then called for, and they turned ot great. Thank you for sharing this recipie with us! I'll deffinetly be making it again and again. - 28 Sep 2003 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
