These Raspberry Jam Swirled Almond Butter Muffins are perfect for breakfast, brunch or an afternoon snack. 100% whole wheat, vegan and absolutely delicious, it's hard to only eat one!Happy first day of March! Spring is just around the corner and I couldn’t be more excited for warmer weather and the color green to return. Of course it could be a while since March tends to be one of the snowiest months in Colorado, fingers crossed it won’t be this year. What better way to celebrate the anticipation of spring, then with a batch of these Raspberry Jam Swirled Almond Butter Muffins!

These Raspberry Jam Swirled Almond Butter Muffins are perfect for breakfast, brunch or an afternoon snack. 100% whole wheat, vegan and absolutely delicious, it's hard to only eat one!It’s been a while since I made muffins, probably because when I do make them I have a hard time leaving them alone, sort of like cookies. My husband isn’t big on eating muffins, don’t ask me why, so when I do make them it’s usually up to me to eat them all.

I always have to have one fresh from the oven, and when I say one it’s really more like three. The rest are cooled then individually wrapped and stored in the freezer for when I need a quick breakfast or snack.

I have been fortunate enough to buy a few delicious boxes of raspberries, but they weren’t exactly cheap and even more ridiculously priced when they weren’t on sale. I can’t wait until we’re in full blown berry season and I can buy a box for a dollar!

The fun part about using raspberry jam in these almond butter muffins is that you can make pretty swirls with it in the batter. The jam not only adds a vibrant red color to the otherwise boring looking brown muffin, but a wonderful sweet raspberry flavor.

Raspberry and almond paired together is one of my favorite flavor combinations, so it was even harder to not overeat these muffins.

These Raspberry Jam Swirled Almond Butter Muffins will be the perfect addition to a spring breakfast or brunch and both kids and adults will love the miniature 2-bite size of them!
