🥣 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Make the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla sugar until light and frothy.
Add the milk and oil, and stir until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Fold in a generous handful of chocolate pieces.
2. Assemble the Muffins
Line a muffin tray with paper cups or silicone molds.
Spoon about one tablespoon of batter into each mold.
Place 1–2 raspberries into the center of each, then top with another spoonful of batter to cover the berries.
Add more chocolate chunks on top for that beautiful cracked look.
3. Bake to Perfection
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
Bake the muffins for 13 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
Let the muffins cool in the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
🍓 Optional Add-Ins & Variations
- Use white or dark chocolate chunks for flavor contrast.
- Add a teaspoon of espresso powder to deepen the chocolate flavor.
