Main ingredients and substitutions

Fresh raspberries work best in this recipe but alternatively you can use frozen raspberries. If using frozen, don’t thaw the berries before adding them to the muffin batter.

I like to use whole wheat flour in these vegan raspberry muffins but you can substitute all purpose flour if you prefer.

These muffins are sweetened with maple syrup. You can substitute other liquid sweeteners such as agave.

Melted coconut oil gives these muffins a satisfying texture. You can substitute other liquid oils such as olive oil or avocado oil if you prefer. To melt the coconut oil, microwave it on high power for 20 seconds. Alternatively you can heat it in a pot on the stovetop on low heat for a minute or two until melted.

Vanilla extract complements the flavor of the fresh raspberries in this recipe. Be sure to use pure vanilla extract as opposed to artificial vanilla flavor if possible.

I used unsweetened almond milk in these whole wheat raspberry muffins but any type of unsweetened plant milk will work.

How to make them

Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt to a large mixing bowl, then mix well.

Add the plant milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, then mix well. Next you’ll add the melted coconut oil and immediately mix again (if you wait too long to mix after adding the coconut oil then it might solidify which makes it harder to incorporate into the muffin batter).

Next you’ll gently stir in the raspberries.

Divide the batter evenly into a twelve cup muffin pan lined with paper baking cups.

Bake the muffins at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 33 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out looking clean with no batter sticking to it.

Let the muffins cool off for at least 30 before removing from the pan and serving.

Storage and freezing

Store these vegan raspberry muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or freeze them for up to six months.
