high-altitude raspberry muffins

Definitely worthy of blogging about! These muffins were created for our altitude of almost 10,000 feet but the cookbook has adjustments for 3 different levels of lower elevations as well.

It’s best to eat these the first day due to the fresh fruit inside, but we ate leftovers for a couple days and they were okay – just not as scrumptious!

From the cookbook Pie in the Sky, they are originally called “Mom’s Blueberry Muffins.” The author talks about the unlimited variations these muffins can withstand – you can combine different types of berries or use blueberries and peach or nectarine slices, or sliced plums and raspberries.

non-vegan vegan pumpkin muffins

Weird title? Yes, well, I really wanted to try this recipe I found which happened to be vegan and I didn’t have “vegan chocolate chips” and other items, so this is just slightly adapted to what I had in my pantry!

It was very well-received by the husband and his football buddies over watching the Oregon game. I don’t say that to say, “look how good a baker I am…” but rather to remind myself of the details of the day I made these.  ;)
See my About page about why this blog even exists. 

 

For the true vegan version, where I found this recipe.

Here’s a  of what I did!

This was a simple fun recipe I made a few years ago.

From the original:

I badly wish I could just transfer the smell of these muffins through my computer to yours.  Even if you don’t like the muffins (which would be difficult to believe), you would love the smell.

I often make tiny adjustments for our own taste preferences, but  was perfect…well, I made mini ones instead of regular, but that’s the only change I made.  You can check it out or just go straight to printing .

P.S. If you have a door to your kitchen, lock it.  I literally didn’t have all the muffins out of the tray yet before 3 people had eaten them.
