These raspberry chocolate chip muffins are gluten-free, grain-free, and oh so decadent. Perfect for brunch or an afternoon snack.
I've been known to bake muffins with just about anything I have in the kitchen—apples, carrots and pineapple, bananas and blackberries. But fresh raspberries and dark chocolate… Wow! So decadent! Raspberries and chocolate are two of my favorite things—and they are amazing together in these muffins.
It's important to use fresh raspberries in this recipe. Frozen raspberries will make the batter too wet. Fold the raspberries into the batter very lightly just before baking. I also like to use ghee for the rich buttery flavor it adds. But you can always substitute coconut oil to make the muffins completely dairy-free.

These raspberry chocolate chip muffins are wonderful warm right out of the oven. I love how the melted chocolate chips contrast with the raspberries—perfect with a cup of cashew milk cappuccino.

March 18 at 3:39 pmThese sound divine!!!!
I would lovelovelove to make a lot on your page, and know that having a Blendtec would make living a paleo lifestyle would make it more of a reality for myself and my children. But with one baby due in June, and no health insurance, I can’t budget the Blendtec in at the moment.
Fingers crossed!!!

March 19 at 1:27 amCan you make this recipe with ‘flax eggs’ ? I don’t eat eggs
Lisa
March 19 at 2:01 pmHi Kathryn, I haven’t tested this recipe with flax eggs so I don’t know how it would turn out. If you try it, let me know if it works for you!
Ursula Defferary
March 19 at 4:48 amI suppose the prize is for residents of the US only? I love your recipes and the best thing is that they are tried and tested and the work! Thank you 🙂
Lisa
March 19 at 1:58 pmHi Ursula, I’m so glad you like the recipes!
The giveaway is open to everyone. The only exception is with the few food prizes that will not be shipped outside the U.S. because of customs concerns.

March 19 at 7:07 amLove the muffin recipes! Great for quick travel, and I leave out sweeteners a lot for a more savory one. I am curious if there are any sugar free chocolate chips? Maple syrup and bacon muffin might be yummy…I must be hungry. Thanks for sharing!
Rebecca R
March 19 at 8:59 amHershey’s has a sugar-free chocolate chip. Alternatively, you could chop a favorite dark chocolate bar.
Rebecca R
March 19 at 8:57 amAh. Thought something was missing from a batch of chocolate chip muffins I’d recently made – raspberries! Such a simple recipe, too. I have everything in my pantry already. Thanks!

Natalie Weppler
March 20 at 9:47 pmI am so excited to try these, but have an issue finding chocolate that doesn’t have milk or sugar. I am going to do my go to move and try cocoa nibs. Do you think that will work ok too? I know they tend to be a bit crunchy, but it’s a safe bet I hope. 🙂 LOVE your blog by the way!!! Thank you for all the recipe help as I am new to Paleo preparations. I have been doing this for only 2 months, but my body now LOVES me and I am finally starting to love my body too!

March 21 at 12:17 pmI always have a hard time with almond flour turning out too crumbly. Is it due to using to coarse of a grind, or can I mix it with another type of flour to help with that?

June 10 at 3:04 pmThis recipe has been recommended to me and I plan on making it tonight! However – I don’t have almond flour. I don’t usually bake gluten-free, but these are for a friend 🙂 I got a bag of all-purpose gluten free flour that’s a mix of different things, I know it has garbanzo bean flour in it. Do you think it would bake the same (or close enough) with the substitution of different flour? Just wondering! Dark chocolate & raspberry is SUCH a great flavor combo 😉
Lisa
June 10 at 6:57 pmHi Haley, almond flour has very different properties, so it is not a 1:1 substitute for other gluten-free flours.
