    These yummy Vegan Raspberry Muffins are the perfect way to start the day for breakfast, or as a delicious snack at any time. A simple vanilla-scented batter combines with juicy, fragrant raspberries for the perfect mouthful. What more could you want from a muffin?

    These muffins are perfect for making pretty much any time of year. They're full of sweet raspberries and gently fragrant with vanilla. The basic batter is the same as my favourite Simple Vegan Lemon Blueberry Muffins,. It's very forgiving. I've added chocolate to these, both white and dark chocolate and it turns out so yummy. (see the variations section below for lots of other ideas)

    If you're a raspberry lover (like me) and want to make something else baked with raspberry flavor, why not try these Raspberry White Chocolate Cookies or Raspberry and White Chocolate Blondies.

    📜Key Ingredients

    • Juicy Raspberries You can use either frozen raspberries or fresh raspberries in this yummy vegan muffin recipe, making it perfect for all-year-round muffin making! I have a lovely raspberry patch that just keeps giving, so I freeze what I can't eat on the spot and use those for baking treats just like these!
    • Linseed 'Egg' these light and fluffy muffins are held together with a simple linseed (aka flaxseed egg) replacement. I find this the simplest wholefood egg replacer (and the cheapest!). All you do is use ground flaxseed mixed with water and use that in place of eggs.(if you want the full low-down on the best egg replacments for different recipes, head over to my handy guide! Vegan Egg: The Best Plant Based Egg Substitutes)
    • Lots of vanilla extract I like to buy a good quality vanilla paste or extract. Don't bother with the artificial flavoured ones. The flavour really comes through in these muffins, so it needs to be delicious!
    • All Purpose Flour/ Plain Flour: You can choose to use all purpose or whole wheat flour, or even your favourite gluten free flour.
    • Neutral Vegetable Oil: I tend to use sunflower oil, but you can choose to use any non-strong tasting oil. Coconut oil also works, but needs to be pre-melted.
    • Baking Powder: for lift and fluffiness!
    • White or Soft Brown Sugar: Either work. If you're in the USA, be sure to choose an vegan organic cane sugar as some are refined using animal bone char (ewww). Most other countries sugar is OK for vegans.
    • Plant Milk: I prefer oat milk or soy milk in these muffins, but almond milk and other plant milks also work well.

    👩‍🍳How to

    For the full recipe and quantities please head to the recipe card below. These step-by-step instructions are here to help you visualize how to go about making this delicious Vegan Raspberry Muffin recipe!

    Measure out 3 tablespoon of ground linseed, add water and let sit while you get on with everything else.
    And vanilla and the linseed egg
    1. Make up the linseed 'egg' by mixing 2 tablespoons of linseed with 6 of water. It takes 5-10 minutes to activate and be ready to use. In the meantime, get on with everything else!

    2. Add flour, sugar, vegetable oil, baking powder along with the vanilla into a large mixing bowl.

    Add the linseed egg to the bowl then mix up the muffin batter. Don't overmix.
    Gently fold the raspberries into the muffin batter.

    3. Add the linseed egg to the large bowl then add the plant milk bit by bit and mix up the muffin batter. Don't overmix.

    4. Gently fold the raspberries into the muffin batter. If you want to add in chocolate chips, add them here too.

    Measure out the muffin batter into muffin cases.
    add an extra raspberry on top of the vegan muffins if you like!

    5. Measure out the muffin batter into muffin cases in a muffin pan.

    Add an extra raspberry on top of the vegan muffins if you like! Then all you need to do is bake for around 15-20 minutes (until risen and golden brown, and a skewer comes out clean)

    🍓Substitutions and Variations

    The basic vegan muffin batter recipe for these raspberry muffins is very easy and can be used with loads of other flavour variations:

    1. Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries or any other berry!
    2. Chocolate Chips, whether vegan white chocolate chips or dark chocolate are both delicious.
    3. Nuts or Seeds- up to 50g of chopped nuts can be added.
    4. Gluten-Free Raspberry Muffins- use your favourite gluten-free flour. This recipe might need a little extra plant milk if using GF flour. You can also use spelt flour or oat flour to replace the regular all purpose flour.
    5. Lemon Raspberry Muffins- Make these into Vegan Lemon Raspberry Muffins by adding the zest of a lemon and some lemon juice to the batter.
    6. Coconut oil- replace the oil with melted coconut oil.
    7. Coconut sugar- reduce the cane sugar content by using coconut sugar or maple syrup as the sweetener.
    8. Crumble Topping: Add a crunchy crumble topping by scrunching some flour, sugar and vegan butter together and sprinkle on top before baking.

    🔪Equipment

    To successfully make these sweet muffins, apart from the simple ingredients, you will need a large mixing bowl and a 12 hole muffin tin. I also like to use paper liners for the tin, however if you're clever you can use parchment paper that has been fashioned into muffin liners.

    🥫Storage

    These vegan raspberry muffins will last 2-3 days in an airtight container. You can also freeze these muffins for up to 3 months. (and have them on hand for a quick breakfast treat) - just pop them in the microwave to warm through before eating.

    ❗Top Tips

    One of my favorite top tips for making these vegan muffins is to use a cookie or ice-cream scoop when portioning out the muffin batter. It's faster and less messy than using two spoons.

    ❓FAQ

    How long do these muffins store for?

    You can keep up to 2 days in a cool place, up to a week in the fridge or freeze for up to 3 months.

    Can I use other berries or fruit?

    Absolutely! Strawberries, blueberries or any other berry will be delicious in these. You could even mix them up.

    Can I add chocolate chips to the raspberry muffins?

    Add up to 50g (half a cup) of chocolate chips. You could choose any type you like best.

    Can I use gluten-free flour with these muffins?

    Yes, just beware they might be a little more crumbly.

    My muffins are tough, why?

    The muffin mixture needs to be only just stirred together, if you over stir it, the muffins will come out tough.

    My muffins are not cooked in the middle!

    Make sure your oven is at the correct temperature. You might need to cook the muffins a little longer to be sure they are totally cooked through. They are ready when a skewer or long toothpick comes out clean.
