Raspberry Almond Mini Muffin Bites
These bite-sized muffins bring together the fragrant warmth of almond extract with pockets of juicy, tart fruit. Using melted coconut oil keeps the crumb soft and moist, while almond milk provides a light base that allows the berries to stand out. Baked in a mini tin, each piece develops lightly browned edges while staying tender at the center. A scattered topping of sliced almonds toasts right in the oven, creating a pleasant contrast against the soft baked batter and tender fruit pieces.
Why this one works
- Quick assembly requires only a single mixing bowl setup before filling the pan.
- Fragrant almond extract complements the bright acidity of the whole raspberries.
- Sliced almonds create a delicate, toasted crunch across the top of each bite.
- Bakes in just 15 minutes, making them convenient for quick morning baking.
What you’ll need
- 1.5 cups (190g) all-purpose flour Provides the structural base; stir gently to keep the crumb light.
- 0.5 cups (100g) granulated sugar Adds balanced sweetness to temper the tartness of the fresh berries.
- 0.5 cups (120ml) almond milk Hydrates the dry ingredients while echoing the nutty flavor profile.
- 0.25 cups (60g) melted coconut oil Ensure it is fully melted and warm enough to incorporate smoothly without solidifying.
- 1 tsp (5g) almond extract Lends a pronounced, sweet nutty aroma throughout the batter.
- 1 cup (125g) fresh raspberries Fold in carefully at the end to avoid crushing the delicate fruit.
- 0.25 cups (30g) sliced almonds Sprinkled over the tops right before baking for color and texture.
- 2 teaspoons (8g) baking powder

A few things worth knowing
- Grease the mini muffin cavities thoroughly so the delicate fruit-filled bites release cleanly after baking.
- Use a gentle folding motion with a spatula when adding the raspberries to prevent bleeding red juice throughout the entire batter.
- Press the sliced almonds lightly into the top of the batter in each cup so they stay in place during the bake.
Ways to make it your own
- Dust lightly with a touch of powdered sugar over the cooled tops for presentation.
- Serve alongside a small dish of raspberry preserves for extra fruit flavor.
Serving suggestions
Set these mini bites out on a serving platter alongside hot coffee, herbal tea, or cold almond milk. Their small size makes them ideal for brunch spreads or light afternoon snacks.
Storage & reheating
Allow the baked bites to cool completely on a wire rack before transferring them to an airtight container to maintain their soft texture and prevent the berries from softening the crust.

Quick recipe answers
How do I know when the mini muffins are done?+
Look for a golden hue across the top and lightly browned, set edges after about 15 minutes at 375°F.
Can I mix the batter ahead of time?+
It is best to bake the batter immediately after mixing so the leavening works effectively and the raspberries do not release excess moisture into the mix.
With juicy fruit, fragrant almond notes, and a quick bake time, these mini muffins are a straightforward treat to pull together anytime.
