- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup warm water
- 2 teaspoons almond extract
- ½ cup butter
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1½ cups frozen raspberries
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Arrange almonds in a single layer on a medium baking sheet and bake for 5–10 minutes, until lightly toasted.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 6-cup jumbo muffin pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, ¾ cup toasted almonds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine warm water, almond extract, butter, and beaten eggs; pour into the dry ingredients and stir gently to combine. Fold in raspberries and spoon batter into prepared pan, then sprinkle with remaining almonds.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Ingredient amounts adjust automatically but cooking times and steps remain unchanged; recipes may not scale perfectly.
- Use fresh or frozen raspberries; if using frozen, do not thaw to prevent excess moisture.
- Substitute buttermilk (½ cup plain yogurt + ½ cup milk) for warm water for extra richness.
- For standard muffin tins, yield ≈12 regular muffins; baking time may vary slightly.
