Healthy Peanut Butter + Raspberry Muffins

This raspberry muffin recipe is so simple to make and absolutely delicious drizzled with some warm peanut butter!
Anyway, in my latest batch of groceries, the raspberries got squished. They were extra juicy and basically inedible as far as finger-foods go. Their fate was either a smoothie or some sort of delicious baked good. And so, the raspberry muffin was conceived.
For me, one of the hardest meals of the day to keep healthy is breakfast. I’ve mentioned this before, but I get bored of eating the same thing over and over and really just want something tasty I can grab and munch on while I’m running around packing lunches and wrestling on shoes, etc.
These are perfect for grab and go bites! If you love gluten free baking you have to check out my roundup post of 50+ gluten free dessert recipes!
Ingredients for this healthy raspberry muffin recipe

- agave nectar
- water
- refined coconut oil
- baking powder
- salt
- cinnamon
- blanched almond flour
- flax meal
- raspberries
- natural peanut butter
Make this raspberry muffin recipe your own.
The great thing about this recipe is you can really play around with different add-ins to customize it to your own tastebuds.
Try some white chocolate chips (or regular chocolate chips), chopped walnuts or hazelnuts, or a berry medley would be fun!
How to make this raspberry muffin recipe:
Whisk together your eggs, agave nectar, water, and melted coconut oil. You want to melt the coconut oil and let it cool a bit, before adding in the eggs.
Add the almond flour, flax seed meal, cinnamon, baking powder, and sea salt. Fold in the raspberries.
Grease your muffin tins or use muffin papers (I recommend this). For some reason I never use muffin liners and ALWAYS regret it. What’s my problem?! I’ve tried my fair share of muffin lined and GUYS! THESE by far, are the best 🙂
Fill the cups until they’re almost full. The muffins rise, but not a ton, so you can fill it almost all the way.
Add additional raspberries to the top of each muffin. Bake for 25 minutes, checking after 20 minutes (just being cautious because every oven’s different).

Enjoy!! xo
These muffins looking amazing! What type of coconut oil do you use? I haven’t cooked with coconut oil yet.
BetterBody Foods has great coconut oil! I also love Nature’s Way. You can find both on Amazon. Or, if you’re looking in your favorite store, I always try to get extra virgin coconut oil and am not too picky about the brand. I just go with whatever is extra virgin that matches my price point.
Let me know how you make out!! xo
These muffins look truly delectable! Could I substitute the eggs for flax eggs?
These look amazing! Could I substitute the almond meal for coconut flour? And if so would it be the same quantity do you think?
Hi Heidi! I wouldn’t recommend subbing the almond meal for coconut flour. Using a lot of coconut flour tends to make things mealy and not so yummy. If you’re less interested in keeping them low carb, you can try for an oat flour, or I know Bob’s Red Mill has a yummy low carb baking mix that may be a good sub! Let me know how you make out!! xo
Just made these! I did not use any agave or sugar. They are more savory, although with the raspberries and pb they are delicious! I’m type 1 diabetic so I am very careful with added sugar. Great muffins that are not too sweet! Love them!
★★★★★
Perfect! I like using agave or coconut sugar because it’s low glycemic so it doesn’t spike blood sugars, but monk fruit may also be a good option for you! I’m glad they were delish without the sweetener! xo
Am I missing what temperature to cook them at? Is it 350? Thank you
Ah sorry about that! Yes it should be 350F 🙂
