Chocolate Raspberry Muffins

Jump to Recipe

I have another delicious muffin recipe for you today, Chocolate Raspberry Muffins. Big fluffy muffins bursting with raspberries and chunks of dark chocolate. Talk about a sweet way to start your day!

Chocolate Raspberry Muffins

I’m always looking for places to tuck extra servings of fruits and veggies into our food, and these do the trick nicely. I used fresh raspberries for these, as they are one of my youngest daughter’s favorite foods and we almost always have them on hand, but you could probably give frozen a try if you want to. And if you need a gluten free version, I’ve got one!

Gluten Free Chocolate Raspberry Muffins

I based these muffins off of the Lemon Blueberry Muffins that I shared earlier this week. The regular version is completely from scratch, and the gluten free version gets some help from a Wildtree Gluten Free Muffin mix, which really makes the most amazing gluten free muffins I’ve come across.

Lemon Blueberry Muffins With White Chocolate ChipsThe chocolate raspberry version of these muffins really only requires that you change your mix ins and leave out the lemon extract, but those simple changes give you a muffin with an entirely different flavor. With baking you sometimes have to be careful messing with things like the amount of baking powder or liquids, but when it comes to mix in items, you really can get creative and try a variety of different things. And if raspberries aren’t your thing, you can even leave them out and just go with a dark chocolate chunk muffin.

Chocolate Chunk Muffins

Heck, you could make a blueberry chocolate muffin, a strawberry chocolate muffin, whatever you like! Feel free to mix and match your berries and chocolates. I used dark chocolate as that is the favorite in our house, but milk chocolate or semi sweet chocolate will work just as well, use whatever works for you!

Chocolate Raspberry Muffins

If you want to have lots of berries and chocolate peaking out of the top of your muffins, make sure to add some to your muffin batter after you have scooped it into your muffin tins. While I love the presentation this gives, for my girls I tend to mix the items in before scooping them. It’s kind of crazy how much of a mess a three year old can make with one giant chunk of chocolate on the top of her muffin, so inside they go!

Chocolate Chip Muffins

I really think these would be awesome with chopped up strawberries as well! Can’t say enough good things about this Wildtree Gluten Free Muffin mix my friend Sandi sent me. Getting light, airy and puffy gluten free bakery style muffins has not been something I’ve yet managed to achieve on my own, but this mix totally does the trick.

Gluten Free MuffinsReady to make some muffins? I added a sprinkle of coarse sugar to the top of my muffins. It’s totally optional, but a nice touch. You can get coarse sprinkle sugar here.

    Is 475 degrees the correct temperature to bake the Chocolate Raspberry muffins?
    Thanks.

      Hi Roberta, per the recipe instructions, you preheat the oven to 475, then immediately drop the temperature to 400 when placing the muffins in the oven.
      “Place muffins in the oven and IMMEDIATELY DROP THE TEMPERATURE down to 400 degrees F.”

    I would LOVE to make the gluten free muffins and since my supermarket doesn’t have this mix, I went on the website – they seem to have everything else but NO GLUTEN FREE MUFFIN MIX – there are a couple of places where they actually say use the Gluten Free Muffin Mix but when searched it states there is no such thing and its not listed or pictured on the site for ordering. Just an FYI.

      Patricia, I just looked and you are right, I don’t see it either. The post is about 15 months old, so maybe they have changed their product line since then. The good news is that any gluten free plain muffin mix should work well, as you’ll just be adding the blueberry and lemon portion. Krusteaz has some great gluten free mixes at my grocery store.
