I have made many different versions of muffins, but the difference with this Raspberry and Chocolate Muffins Recipe is that I have used stevia instead of sugar. Using dark chocolate instead of white or milk chocolate also reduces the sugar content. I thought they tasted great and the kids loved them, so it was a win all round!
Raspberry and Chocolate Muffins
Ingredients:
- 2 cups self raising flour
- ¼ cup stevia
- 125 mls canola oil
- 150 mls milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 100 grams good quality 70% dark chocolate
- 1 cup frozen raspberries
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius.
2. In a medium sized bowl add flour and stevia and mix.
3. In a separate bowl or jug, add eggs, oil, milk and vanilla extract. Whisk with a fork to blend.
4. Grate the dark chocolate and roughly chop the frozen raspberries and set aside.
5. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix gently with wooden spoon.
6. Add raspberries and chocolate and gently mix further.
7. Spoon into lined muffins trays and bake for about 12 – 15 minutes.
8. The skewer test will let you know if they are cooked. Allow them to cool on a wire rack.
They are super delicious warm, so I would reheat mine for about 15 seconds in the microwave on subsequent days!
