Can I substitute almond flour for all purpose flour?

There are different recommendations out there to substitute a certain amount of all purpose flour for a certain amount of almond flour. Sometimes substitutions work well and sometimes they don’t. I recommend looking for recipes that have been tested with almond flour.

Why are these muffins flatter than regular muffins?

Since almond flour doesn’t have gluten in it, it doesn’t rise as much as muffins made with all-purpose flour. The tops of these muffins are flatter, or very slightly domed.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease or line 10 muffin tins with muffin liners.
In a large bowl, mix the almond flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together.
In a medium sized bowl, melt the butter. Mix in the brown sugar. Beat in the eggs until combined. Then mix in the milk.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing only until just combined. Gently fold in the raspberries and chocolate chips.
Evenly divide the batter into the 10 muffin tins. Sprinkle the top of each muffin with a dash of turbinado sugar.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the muffin tops are golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool to room temperature before eating them, otherwise they will be too crumbly and fall apart.

Notes

*Almond meal is not the same thing as almond flour. If you have never baked with almond flour before, make sure to read the label well before buying.
Storage: Store leftover muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
