Raspberry & Almond Custard Breakfast Muffins

A couple of weeks ago Foodies 100 were looking for bloggers to take part in a recipe competition with Blue Diamond Almonds and sent a carton of Almond Breeze almond milk to help us on our way. The challenge is to come up with a breakfast recipe using the milk.
Almond Breeze is a great alternative to dairy milk as it has less than half the calories of skimmed milk and is a good source of calcium and vitamins, therefore, when you eat a custard filled muffin made with Almond Breeze for your breakfast you know it's going to be good for you....right?
