Raspberry and Dark Chocolate Muffins


I love raspberries and chocolate (like my mother.) I love making these dessert muffins, and they are perfect for Valentine's Day.

What you'll need:

2 C flour (or whole wheat)
1 1/2 t baking powder
1 C sugar
1 3/4 sticks unsalted butter
3/4 C plain yogurt
1/2 C water
2 eggs
3.5 oz dark chocolate, roughly chopped--the first time i made these i substituted regular chocolate chips and they worked fine
5 oz raspberries, fresh or frozen
2 T granulated sugar
powdered sugar for dusting



1. Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl and make a well in the center.
2. Melt the butter and remove from heat. Stir in yogurt and water, then add eggs one at a time, stirring well.
3. Pour wet ingredients into dry well and combine.
4. Fold chocolate and raspberries into batter and pour into muffin tins. Sprinkle the tops with raw sugar and bake at 375 degrees for 30-40 minutes.





Remove from oven, let cool, and dust with powdered sugar.
