Ingredients
Raspberry Ginger Muffins
- Ingredients
- 1 oz candied ginger
- 6 ozs Whole wheat flour
- 2 tsps cream of tartar
- 3 ozs cane sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 ozs Cultured butter (room temperature)
- ½ cup mineral water (carbonated)
- 2 eggs
- 9 ozs Raspberries
- 9 ozs Sour cream (10% fat)
- 1 ½ tsps Carob
- 1 tsp Bourbon vanilla powder
- liquid Sweetener (to taste)
Finely chop ginger and mix in a bowl with whole wheat flour, cream of tartar, sugar and a pinch of salt.
Add butter, mineral water and eggs and mix with a hand blender until batter is smooth.
Rinse and dry raspberries. Line a 12-well muffin tin with baking cups. Fill wells half full with batter, put two raspberries in each well and top with remaining batter. Bake in a preheated oven on middle oven rack at 200°C (fan: 180°C, gas mark 3)(approximately 400°F/convection 350°F) for about 20 minutes.
Remove muffin tin from oven and let cool for about 5 minutes. Then transfer muffins to a wire rack and let cool completely for about 40 minutes.
Blend sour cream with carob bean powder and vanilla sugar in a bowl until smooth and season to taste with sweetener. Spread cream on muffins and top with remaining raspberries.

Healthy, because
Wholemeal flour and raspberries contain a lot of fibre. These substances provide almost no calories, but they do a lot of good: they contribute to a long-lasting feeling of satiety and regulate digestion; they may also reduce the risk of colon cancer.
Even smarter
If you don't like ginger, take finely chopped dried apricots instead - this brings a plus in potassium.
