We love eating muffins around here. And what is there not to like? They are a portable snack that tastes great. So I try to come up with various muffins recipes. Here are two other muffin recipes from the blog: zucchini muffins and almond corn meal muffins.
These chia almond muffins turned out very well. My husband had a hard time restraining himself from eating them all. My daughter eats any muffins I make (including these ones), but in very small amounts. My son usually does not like raspberries by themselves, but he loved these muffins. In conclusion, these muffins made us happy. I tried many versions of these chia almond muffins using different fruits (blueberries, strawberries, or mixture of berries) and they tasted great each time.
Edited to add: I make this muffins often as they are some of our favourites. One day I doubled the recipe and made a big cake (in a 8X11 inch greased oven-proof glass dish) and 6 muffins. I baked the cake and the muffins at 350 F until they become moderately brown on the surface and a toothpick came out clean. Please remember that he muffins bake quicker than the cake, so you have to check them after 20-30 minutes. If they are done, take them out and leave the cake in the oven until it’s ready.
