RASPBERRY ALMOND MUFFINS
This is an easy recipe that is pretty much fool proof. I manage a market cafe that serves homemade pastries in the morning, and this 'made-up' recipe was a total seller with our customers. Now they come in and ask for these over and over. I hope you'll enjoy these as much as our customers do.

RASPBERRY ALMOND MINI-MUFFINS
These are delicious, elegant little morsels. It's an old recipe from the Pampered Chef. My favorite jam to use in these muffins is seedless black raspberry.

- Don't overfill the muffin cups: Fill the cups only about 2/3 full to prevent overflow.
- Bake muffins in the center of the oven: This will ensure that they bake evenly.

- Serve muffins warm: Freshly baked muffins are best served warm, but they can also be stored at room temperature for a day or two.
