Dark chocolate raspberry muffins made with delicious fresh raspberries, teasing little pieces of dark chocolate and a sensational moist centre for only 200 calories each!
These decadent dark chocolate raspberry muffins are so quick and easy to make.
If you love chocolate and raspberries then you'll love this recipe!
Also, as they're stuffed full of little chocolate pieces I definitely think that kids will love them too!
Folks, the soft fruit harvest here in Scotland has been so good this year that my other half and I have been loving all the baskets of fresh strawberries and fresh raspberries that we've been getting through.
I already made great use of fresh strawberries with the delicious strawberry chia overnight oats breakfast recipe published last week so I couldn't let those equally delicious fresh raspberries be all alone could I?
To keep things as simple and as easy as possible I used my classic method of combining one bowl of wet ingredients with one bowl of dry ingredients for these dark chocolate raspberry muffins.
You'll find I use this tried and tested simple method with many of my other muffin recipes too which you can check out in the list below.
When I took these dark chocolate raspberry muffins into my work for their usual "taste testing" they went down really well. In fact some said these were their most favourite muffins I'd made yet!
So, I mentioned in the strawberry chia overnight oats recipe that when I lived in Dundee, one of the jobs I used to do was to go and pick the soft fruits from local farms for supermarkets to earn some extra pocket money when they were in season.
A lot of the soft fruits also went into jam making and in Dundee there used to be a huge jam making industry.
Indeed Dundee was once famous for its' jute, jam and journalism. Sadly all those industries are now all gone except for journalism.

Scotland really is a beautiful country, and that's great that you are getting the chance to travel a bit for work! I think I have nearly that same photo of the River Ness from our trip to Inverness a few years back. But these muffins. Woah. I love raspberries with chocolate, but I don't think I've ever combined them in muffin form. And I'm totally intrigued! I could see these being great for both breakfast and dessert! Safe travels, Neil, and thanks for sharing this yummy recipe!

I've very lucky, I know, to be able to live in such a beautiful country. Despite what I say, it isn't always raining, as the photograph proves! Still, when I got down to Aberdeen two days after taking this picture, it was thoroughly miserable, hence no further pictures on my travels!
Still, these muffins. Yes. They are delicious and that raspberries and chocolate combination David, you are right I love it too! 🙂

Beautiful muffins, Neil! It's hard to beat the combo of raspberries and chocolate. Personally, I do prefer savory muffins loaded with cheese, nuts, and herbs. When (rarely) I crave for a sweet version, I normally opt for a carrot or lemon one. Also, those beetroot muffins intrigued me:)

Many thanks Ben! I'll happily swap you some of these muffins (or my chocolate and beetroot ones) for those savory muffins you mention. I do love a savory muffin too and when you've got a good combo of nuts and cheese and herbs, well I'm definitely in!

We were SO close to going raspberry picking last weekend!! I need to make sure we head out this coming weekend instead 😛

I'd be so jealous if you got out Raspberry picking Rebecca! Just make sure to keep some for your baking, rather than eating the majority which is what I did! 😆

OH WOW... this is such an amazing combination, I have never used raspberries in muffins so definitely saving this one...chocolate, I eat most of it before putting it into muffins, so this combination should even things out.?
You really have a beautiful country....The scenery is absolutely stunning...Love it!!!

I would so recommend trying out the chocolate and raspberry combo if you get a chance Ashika.
And, of course if the chocolate made it that far without you eating it first! 🙂
Ah, Scotland is such a beautiful country yes. And I know I'm extremely lucky. But today, lol, it's raining so hard. So not so. 😉
