Chocolate chip raspberry muffins // Valentine's recipe {FFAY #1}

sweet and tart muffins perfect for Valentine's Day or any day


Welcome to the first Foodie For A Year link up! I am so excited to share this Valentine's recipe with you, it is one of my favorite muffins of all time! The best part of this flavor combo is, it is completely customizable (because I like options) so if milk chocolate and raspberries aren't your thing, use white chocolate chips and strawberries or dark chocolate chips and dried cherries; both which would be phenomenal! You just really can't go wrong!
Easy to make and gone too fast! Sweet and tart muffins perfect for Valentine's Day or any day!

Chocolate Chip Raspberry Muffins
My favorite muffin recipe of all time!
Ingredients
  • 5 1/2 Tbsp butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 Tbsp milk
  • 3/4 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup raspberries
  • optional: red food coloring
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F. Put muffin liners into a muffin tin and set aside. Mix together flour and baking soda and set aside. Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and then the milk. Gradually add the flour mixture until just combined.Add the chocolate chips.Gently fold in the raspberries. Add a few drops of red food coloring to get desired shade of red or pink. Spoon batter into muffin liners and bake for 15-20 minutes, until tops are golden brown or an inserted toothpick comes out clean.Transfer from muffin tin to cool and enjoy!


These muffins are very moist and last up to 5 days (not that they do around here!) in a covered container.

  7. Chocolate and raspberries may be one of the best food combinations ever when it comes to desserts. These sound so amazing! How do you like the silicone baking cups? I've been thinking about buying some.
