Chocolate Raspberry Muffins

Chocolate raspberry muffins are the sweetest way to start your day! The tart berries pair so well with the sweet chocolate muffin.

I’m hitting the mom thing hard this summer, you guys.

Throughout the school year, we have a rule. Fruit with breakfast.

It’s simple. You can have the cereal, because mama doesn’t have time to be cooking you eggs and bacon and pancakes. Just, for the love of all that is holy, eat a freaking piece of fruit with your cereal so that I can feel okay about this choice.

Cereal is our favorite convenience food.

Then summer hits and our schedules loosen up a bit and I decide to be all Betty Crocker at 5am. Whipping up muffins and ish.

My latest batch of muffins include both chocolate and raspberries, because my kids will not eat your sprouted wheat agave sweetened kefir filled kombucha muffin. No. My kids are American and they want chocolate for breakfast.

So, I took my very favorite chocolate muffin base and I loaded it up with fresh raspberries to make…raspberry muffins!

It’s a miracle the berries even made it into the batter, honestly. I’m well known for eating the berries straight from the container the minute they make it home from the store. I always have to buy double the amount I think we’ll need, because once I start hoovering them in, there is no stopping me.

Some other raspberry favorites of mine – Mason Jar Chocolate Raspberry Tarts, Raspberry Crumb Bars, and Raspberry Sweet Rolls.  Also, this one isn’t raspberry, but my glazed chocolate donut is another breakfast favorite this time of year. It’s baked instead of fried and ready in less than 30 minutes.

Now go forth and make your kid some muffins. They deserve ’em.
