Ingredients
  

Muffins

  • 1 ¼ cup gluten free flour
  • ¼ tsp xanthan gum leave out if in gf flour mix already
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste
  • 130 g natural yoghurt
  • 120 g butter melted and cooled
  • 2 eggs
  • 300 g raspberries fresh or frozen
  • 150 g white chocolate chips

Crumble Topping

  • 100 g gluten free flour
  • 6 tbsp sugar
  • 70 g ground almonds
  • 60 g butter cold + cubed
  • Salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 200℃. Add muffin wrappers to the muffin tray, or grease with olive or butter.
  • Start making the muffins by combining the flour, xanthan gum, sugar and baking powder.
  • Add the natural yoghurt and butter to the dry mix. Stir until a smooth batter is formed, and there are no lumps (or minimal lumps).
  • To the batter, fold in the white chocolate chips and the raspberries. If you are using frozen raspberries (I did), then add a light dusting of flour to them beforehand, so they are less likely to bleed through the mix when cooked.
  • Use an ice cream scoop, or just a large spoon, to add the muffin batter to the muffin tray. Fill the cups most of the way, but allow a little room for the muffins to rise without overflowing.
  • Make the crumble topping by mixing together the gluten free flour, sugar and salt. Add the cubed butter in, use your fingers to mush into the dry ingredients - not completely. This should form a nice crumbly texture.
  • Sprinkle the crumble topping over each muffin, try not to completely cover.
  • Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Use a skewer to poke inside the muffin; if it comes out clean then the muffins are cooked, if it comes out with batter then bake for a further 5 minutes - or until the skewer comes out clean.
  • Allow the muffins to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. They are best served while still warm.
