The joy of these Raspberry Mini Sbrisolonas doesn't end when they come out of the oven. 🌟 The possibilities for serving are limitless:

Equipment
These are essential to give your Mini Sbrisolonas their adorable, bite-sized shape. Silicone molds are easier to handle as they make removal effortless.
You'll need a couple—one for the dry ingredients and one for the wet ones. Opt for bowls with a non-slip base for better stability.
A standard kitchen oven works perfectly. Preheat properly to ensure even baking.
Variations
Baking should be inclusive! 🌍 Here are some gluten-free and vegan variations so everyone can enjoy these delicious treats:
Gluten-Free: Simply replace the flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure the baking powder is also gluten-free.
Vegan: Swap the egg with a flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 2.5 tablespoons water) and use coconut oil or vegan butter instead of sunflower oil. Make sure your raspberry jam is free from honey or animal-derived gelatins. 🌱
Faq
- How do I know when the Sbrisolonas are baked thoroughly?
Check for a golden brown color on the top. They should be firm to touch but not hard.
- Can I substitute other fruits for the raspberries?
Absolutely! Strawberries, blueberries, or even a mix of berries work beautifully.
- What type of oil works best for this recipe?
Sunflower oil or melted butter are recommended, but you can also use coconut oil for a different flavor profile.
- Can I prepare the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can make the dough a day ahead and store it in the refrigerator. Just bring it to room temperature before pressing it into the muffin molds.
- How can I prevent the Sbrisolonas from sticking to the molds?
Use non-stick muffin molds or line them with baking paper. Greasing the molds lightly with a bit of oil or butter also helps.
- Can I use frozen raspberries?
Yes, just make sure to thaw and drain them well before use to avoid excess moisture in the dough.
