I like sweet and tart combinations. And to me, raspberries sometimes have that tart and tangy flavor. I like to pair that with something sweet which, in this case, was vanilla. The vanilla protein powder I used in this recipe has just the right amount of sweetness to offset the tartness of the raspberries. The texture of these were really good, too! I almost added some melted white chocolate on top thinking that the added sweetness would be yummy. Listen, there's no way melted white chocolate would be bad or not good. But I will say that they are delicious without it also :) Enjoy!

¾ cup raspberries,
divided

Nicolette’s Tips
* You can use
regular cupcake liners. Make sure to coat them with non-stick spray before
adding the muffin batter.
* You can also make
these into mini muffins. Decrease the cooking time to 10-14 minutes.
I don't have almond meal or almond flour, is ther something I can substitute for this like more whole wheat flour or coconut flour?
ReplyDeleteYes. You can use oat flour or whole wheat flour. I would not recommend using coconut flour as a replacement, though.
DeleteThis looks great! Gotta love your protein pastries!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteCan I use normal milk and flour instead of the almond??
DeleteYes. Use the same amount of regular milk but only try 1/4 cup regular flour.
DeleteWhat else can I use to sweeten this rather than X
ReplyDeleteI would try honey or agave.
ReplyDeletecan you specify how much protein powder - e.g. 1/4 cup? Scoop sizes vary depending on the protein powder
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry I am just now seeing this. I feel terrible! Yes, so one scoop will equal to 1/4 cup :) I hope this helps!
Deletemy batter was not liquidy at all. Used exact recipe. I had to spoon batter into the silicone molds and then use my fingers to push them down. Still had a bit of batter left.
