Vegan raspberry muffins - Real Recipes from Mums

Light and fluffy muffin recipe. So good you would not even know it is vegan.

Ingredients (makes 12 Muffins)

300 grams Plain Flour
Pinch Salt
2 1/2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
180 grams Caster Sugar
120 ml Olive Oil
350 ml Water
1 1/4 Teaspoons Apple Cider Vinegar
240 gram Raspberries - Frozen or Fresh depending on the season
12 Raspberries - additional for decorating

Method

Preheat oven to 180 degrees fan forced oven. Line Muffin tin or cupcake tin with liners or cases.
Mix flour with salt and baking powder.
In another bowl, briskly whisk the sugar with oil. Add water and vinegar to sugar and oil and whisk well.
Mix the dry ingredients with wet ingredients. Fold in the raspberries. Fill the papers/cases with the batter. Put a raspberry onto the top of each muffin.
Bake for 30 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.

Notes

This recipe came about because one day I made my little girl a Coconut Cake. My two little monsters take it in turn picking a new recipe every week or so. The Coconut cake was laden with sour cream, coconut, eggs and butter and looked absolutely delectable. I was actually so annoyed that she was going to be able to have this cake that I wanted to do one better. (Bad Mummy moment). So as soon as the coconut creation was in the oven and girl child was out of the kitchen, I went and grabbed a recipe for Raspberry Muffins. There you go, 44 years old and on a mission to outdo my 8 year old daughter. I am not going to apologise for being jealous of a coconut cake though, because the muffins were amazing. Not a vegan brick in sight. They were light and fluffy and absolutely scrumptious. Another one for the bible of indulgence.

I didn’t have a muffin tin so I made this in a brownie tin. It was delicious. Thank you for sharing.

These look incredible! I wonder if they will still come out fluffy if you use almond flour…

  Love the notes – it’s great to find vegan recipes that don’t have a terrible texture

I’m looking to change my diet and add more vegan items, hopefully to go vegan one day in the future. So this is one I’ll be adding to a vegan list, yum!

I would leave the sugar out, use a different flour and make my own apple puree, but for the rest some lovely ingredients !

Is it vegan because there are no eggs in them? What’s the consistency like? I’m intrigued!

  Vegan because no animal products – so no eggs, milk, butter. The consistency is amazingly light. Talk me a while to perfect this recipe – but it is heavenly.

  These make for a lovely light muffin. The water works a treat. Give it a try – I find that the kids love them too (well my little boy does, my little girl has taken against fruit in cakes so she needs some convincing!)
