• 1/2 cup of desiccated coconut
• 1 tsp of gluten-free baking powder
• 1/2 cup of coconut sugar (or rapadura sugar)
• 4 eggs

2. Line a 12 cup muffin tray with muffin cases.
3. Place the almonds into a food processor and pulse until they are finely ground.
4. In a large bowl, mix together the ground almonds, coconut sugar, desiccated coconut & baking powder.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut oil & vanilla bean paste.
6. Pour the egg mixture into the bowl of the almond mixture and stir until well combined.
7. Pour the mixture into the muffin cases and dot with raspberries, pushing them down into the mix slightly.
8. Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until golden on top.

Note: If you do not have a food processor or blender, you can use almond meal instead.
