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.

Great recipe inspiration as we continue on our healthy eating plan!
I can’t wait to make these – they combine 2 of my favorite things – raspberries and chocolate!!
These 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!!!
I’m SUPER excited to try these! “Pined” 😉
Pinned! As always, looks great!
I can’t wait to make these.

I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO MAKING THESE MUFFINS. LOOKS SO GOOD.
What a great recipe!
This raspberry muffin recipe sounds divine!! Can’t wait to try them!!
Can you make this recipe with ‘flax eggs’ ? I don’t eat eggs
Hi 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!
I 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 🙂
Hi 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.
Love 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!
Hershey’s has a sugar-free chocolate chip. Alternatively, you could chop a favorite dark chocolate bar.
Ah. 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!
These muffins look so good! And those raspberries – yum. A cashew milk cappuccino sounds heavenly right now 🙂
The combination of dark chocolate and raspberries are among my favorites…especially in a healthy muffin recipe!! Thanks for my new morning treat!
These sound absolutely wonderful! Can’t wait to give them a try!
I 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!
These muffins sound so awesome! Can’t wait to try them.
This recipe looks amazing.
The grand kids get a special treat when they are here.
I 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?
Raspberry and chocolate is the best flavor combo, especially in a healthy muffin! Yum! Will have to try these very soon 🙂
I can’t wait to try these muffins!

Thanks for hosting such a fun event, Shirley!
This 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 😉
Hi Haley, almond flour has very different properties, so it is not a 1:1 substitute for other gluten-free flours.
