Dark Chocolate Raspberry Oatmeal Muffins Recipes

RASPBERRY OATMEAL MUFFINS

Steps:

• Combine wet ingredients and oats: In a large measuring jug, combine oats, brown sugar, Greek yogurt, oil and the egg. Beat well, then set aside and let stand for 5 minutes (if using quick cooking oats) to 10 minutes (for old fashioned oats).
• Prep: While the oats are soaking, preheat the oven to 400°F and line a 12 cup muffin pan with liners.
• Mix dry ingredients: Add flour, salt, baking power and baking soda to a large bowl. Mix very well.
• Combine wet and dry ingredients: Add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients and fold just until combined. Do NOT overmix!
• Add the berries: Now add the berries and fold them into the batter by stirring 2-3 times. No more!
• Finish and bake: Evenly divide the batter between 12 muffin cups (this is SO easy with a cookie scoop!) Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then cool completely on a cooling rack.

JUMBO RASPBERRY CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Generously grease a jumbo 6-count muffin pan with butter or nonstick spray (nonstick spray recommended) or line with muffin liners. Set aside.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Whisk the melted butter, oil, sugar, and eggs together until combined. Then whisk in the sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract. Mixture will be pale yellow. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and fold together with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until completely combined. Use a whisk to rid any large lumps of flour, if needed. Avoid overmixing. The batter will be thick. Fold in the chocolate chips, then gently fold in the raspberries. (Gentle to help prevent them from bursting/breaking too much.)
• Divide batter between each muffin cup, filling all the way to the top. Sprinkle with coarse sugar (for added crunch, recommended!). Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then, keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue to bake for 25-30 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden brown and centers are set. Stick a toothpick in the center of a muffin to test for doneness. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done.
• Allow to cool for 10 minutes in pan before serving.
• Cover leftover muffins and store at room temperature for 5 days or in the refrigerator for 1 week. Muffins freeze well for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator or on the counter.
