Chocolate Raspberry Muffins
These easy Chocolate Raspberry Muffins use ingredients you probably have on hand and make a great sweet breakfast or snack! Who doesn’t love to start the day with a little chocolate? This recipe is incredibly simple to toss together, perfect for making yourself or with young kiddos who want to help. My Chocolate Raspberry Muffins use significantly less sugar than you’ll find in a lot of muffin recipes, but I really don’t think you’ll miss it! These are still perfectly sweet, and I love the juicy fresh raspberries throughout. I’ve made a few similar muffin recipes using different flavors (Banana Blueberry, Apple Cinnamon, Carrot Muffins), but I definitely felt like we were due for a chocolate one! One of these muffins is great for breakfast with a side of eggs or fruit, but I definitely also ate them for dessert. Better still, each of these Chocolate Raspberry Muffins is just 113 calories or 4 WW Points (or 5 WW Points if following the diabetic Weight Watchers plan).

Chocolate Raspberry Muffins
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 tablespoons light butter, melted (I use Land O’Lakes light butter)
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly mist a 12 count standard-sized muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the egg, applesauce, sugar, and vanilla and stir together until well combined. Add the melted butter and stir until well combined. Add the raspberries and stir to combine.
- In a separate mixing bowl, add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and stir until combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir together until combined into a batter.
- Spoon the batter evenly amongst the wells in the prepared muffin tin. Bake for 18-20 minutes.
