    Key Ingredients

    All the ingredients for the muffins on a marble table.
    • Frozen Raspberries - Frozen raspberries are key for baked goods! Frozen berries end up transferring less moisture to the muffins and keep the structure muffins.
    • Chopped Chocolate: chopping a high-quality baking chocolate bar like Ghirardelli into small pieces yields the best result for these muffins! Chopping the chocolate into small mini chocolate chip-sized pieces ensures that every bite has a hit of chocolate and that it melts right into the batter. You could also substitute for mini chocolate chips.
    • Eggs: The eggs in this recipe work double-time as a binding agent for all the ingredients, but they also help the muffins rise. 
    • All-purpose flour: The flours are what gives the muffin its structure. 
    • Sugar: sugar is what makes these muffins sweet and tasty.

    How to make this recipe:

    The chocolate bar after it has been chopped on a white cutting board.

    Chop the chocolate into mini chocolate chip-sized pieces.

    A bowl with mixed butter and sugar, with 2 cracked eggs on top of the batter.

    Then cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Then add the eggs, one at a time. Add, then mix in the milk and vanilla.

    All the ingredients in the mixing bowl with the raspberries and chocolate on top.

    Mix in the dry ingredients, chocolate, and raspberries.

    The batter has been added to the muffin tin and is ready to be baked.

    Scoop the batter into a lined muffin tin, sprinkle with coarse sugar, and bake!

    Tips

    • Do not thaw the raspberries before adding them to the batter. This will help prevent them from adding too much moisture to the muffins.
    • For an extra burst of raspberry flavor, sprinkle a few additional raspberries on top of each muffin before baking.
    • Consider using dark chocolate chips for a more intense chocolate flavor or white chocolate chips for a sweeter twist.
    • To make the muffins even more indulgent, sprinkle a little sugar on top of each muffin before baking to create a crunchy, sweet crust.

    Substitutions:

    • Feel free to use whole wheat flour or a combination of all-purpose and whole wheat flour for a slightly heartier muffin.
    • Customize the muffins by adding chopped nuts, such as walnuts or almonds, for extra texture and flavor.

    FAQ

    How long do these muffins last?

    These muffins will keep for up to three days in an air-tight container.

    What makes muffins light and fluffy?

    Several things make muffins and cake light and fluffy—having all the ingredients at room temperature ensures that they can effectively bind and rise. Also, whipping the butter and sugar adds to the bake's rise.

    About Pate

    Hi! I'm Pate, the blogger, recipe developer, and photographer behind The G&M Kitchen!

    Raised in the heart of Kentucky, I come from a long line of passionate cooks and bakers. The kitchen was always the heart of our home, where we transformed vegetables into delightful dishes and crafted pies and cakes that emerged from the oven. This tradition of coming together through food and cooking inspired the name of my blog, The G&M Kitchen – 'G' for my father's family, the Giltners, and 'M' for my mother's family, the Millers.

    I also believe if a recipe is missing something, it's probably bourbon.
