I have been making these raspberry almond mini muffins for about 10 years now. My mom and I made these every Easter and now I make them for Easter and throughout the Spring and Summer months. They are incredibly easy to make and so delicious. I often get asked for this recipe so I wanted to share it with all of you!

These look really good! Thanks Natalie. I think I will probably try them with several different flavored jams and decide which one my family likes best.
Yes! Thats a terrific idea. I have used blueberry jam before and they were SOOO good.
