Fluffy, decadent, chocolate and raspberry muffins are a perfect antidote to the January blues. There is no better combination in the world than raspberries and bittersweet chocolate.
These muffins couldn’t be easier to throw together and there is no need for a mixer. Just couple of mixing bowls, a whisk and lots of dark bittersweet chocolate will do the trick.
This recipe makes perfectly balanced muffins that won’t fail to impress your friends and family. Incredibly chocolaty, but not overly sweet. Best served by the fire with a cup of tea and a good book!

2 cups flour
1/2 cup of vegetable oil
1 cup of white sugar
3/4 cup of dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup of milk
1 egg
1 cup of sour cream
1 punnet of fresh raspberries

3) Whisk egg, sour cream, milk, vanilla essence and vegetable oil in another bowl until smooth.

Yes Mimi Miles is fine. Still ruling the house as usual. How are you. It is so cold and miserable here in the U.K at the moment that I can’t get enough of the chocolate and raspberry muffin recipe I just posted. Take care. Emma xx
