Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 cup | Milk |
| 1/3 cup | Vegetable oil |
| 1 | Egg |
| 2 cups | All-purpose flour |
| 1/2 cup | Granulated sugar |
| 2 tsp | Baking powder |
| 1/2 tsp | Salt |
| 1 cup | Semi-sweet chocolate chips |
| 1/4 cup | Raspberry jam |
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). 🌡️
-
-
Prepare Muffin Cups: Grease the bottoms only of 12 standard-size muffin cups or line with paper liners for easy cleanup. 🧁
-
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat together the milk, vegetable oil, and egg until well combined. 🥛
-
Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir in the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together first, then add to the wet ingredients. Mix just until combined—don’t overmix, as it can make the muffins tough. 🥚
-
Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter. 🍫
-
Fill Muffin Cups: Fill the prepared muffin cups about one-third full with the batter. This gives room for the raspberry filling and ensures the muffins rise properly. 📏
-
Add Raspberry Jam: Place about 1 teaspoon of raspberry jam in the center of each muffin cup, avoiding the sides of the cups. This will create a delicious surprise when you bite into the muffins! 🍇
-
Top with More Batter: Carefully spoon the remaining batter on top of the raspberry jam in each muffin cup. The jam will be in the center, surrounded by the muffin batter. 🥄
-
Optional Sugar Topping: If desired, lightly sprinkle the tops of the muffins with a bit of granulated sugar before baking. This adds a delightful crunch and sweetness to the muffin tops. ✨
-
Bake to Perfection: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 🕒
-
Cool and Enjoy: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy them warm! 🌬️
Tips and Variations:
-
Chocolate Lover’s Twist: For Chocolate-Chocolate Chip Raspberry-Filled Muffins, you can alter the recipe slightly. Decrease the amount of flour to 1 3/4 cups and add 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder to the dry ingredients. This gives you an extra chocolatey kick!
-
Customize with Nuts: Feel free to add chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans for some extra crunch and flavor. About 1/2 cup of nuts should do the trick.
-
Make Ahead for Busy Mornings: These muffins can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container. Pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to warm them up for a quick breakfast on busy mornings. 🌞
-
Freeze for Later: These muffins freeze well too! Simply wrap each cooled muffin individually in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll keep for up to 3 months. To enjoy, thaw at room temperature or microwave for a quick defrosting. 🧊
