  • 1/4 cup Light brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter melted for crumb topping
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Orange zest finely grated
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 cup Whole milk
  • 8 ounces Dark chocolate roughly chopped
  • 1 and 1/2 cups Fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour for crumb topping
  • 1/4 cup Granulated sugar for crumb topping

Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Rubber spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with cooking spray.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/8 teaspoon of salt. Pour in 1/4 cup of melted unsalted butter and mix until crumbly. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 3 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  4. In another bowl, beat together 1/2 cup of unsalted butter at room temperature, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup of packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add 1 teaspoon of finely grated orange zest and mix well.
  5. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 egg yolk until combined. Stir in 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and 1 cup of whole milk until fully incorporated.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Gently fold in 8 ounces of roughly chopped dark chocolate and 1 and 1/2 cups of fresh or frozen raspberries.
  8. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the crumb topping generously over each muffin.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The tops should be golden brown.
  10. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy your Dark Chocolate Chunk Raspberry Crumb Muffins warm or at room temperature!

Notes

  • These muffins freeze beautifully for up to 3 months.
  • Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for added nutrition.
  • Use unsweetened applesauce in place of some of the butter to lighten the recipe.
