When you're craving a baked good that's sweet and fruity, these sourdough raspberry muffins with chocolate chips do the trick. In our house, we love eating these muffins for breakfast. They go great with a hot cup of coffee! Each bite is full of chocolate, raspberry, and the sweet tang of sourdough muffin.
1/2cupMini Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips(plus a handful more for garnishing)
Instructions
Slice raspberries into small pieces (doesn’t have to be anything fancy) (take one berry and slice it 4 times).
In a large mixing bowl, add baking powder, salt, flour, chocolate chips, 3/4 of the chopped raspberries (save back a 1/4 for garnishing) and stir to combine.
Whisk in sourdough starter, maple syrup, melted butter, vanilla, egg, and milk just to combine (do not over-mix).
Grease a muffin tin with butter and a dusting of flour to prevent sticking or lining with paper muffin liners (muffins may stick to paper liners, you can lightly grease these is desired).
Fill each liner 3/4 of the way full, leaving just a tiny amount of paper showing.
Grab the chopped raspberries you saved back and a handful of extra chocolate chips. Add them on top of muffins as even as you can for garnishing.
Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 18-20 mins until a toothpick comes out clean.
Immediately place on a cooling rack and enjoy when ready!

Notes
Storing Muffins
After muffins are completely cooled down, place them in an air-tight storage container in the fridge for 3-4 days. I don't recommend storing them at room temperature. The fresh raspberries can cause them to go bad quickly.
How to Store Muffin Batter
If you make this muffin batter ahead of time, it'll last 2 days in the fridge in an air-tight container. During this time the raspberries will bleed their juices causing the batter to turn red. This doesn't mess with the structure of the muffin just the appearance.
Freezing Muffins
After the muffins are baked and completely cooled, place them in a freezer-safe container or baggie. They'll last 2-3 months in the freezer.
How to Freeze Muffin Batter
If you want to freeze muffin batter, place it in a freezer safe baggie or container. Make sure you get as much air out as possible. The batter will last 3-4 weeks in the freezer.
Reheating Instructions
To reheat these muffins, place them in a toaster oven or regular oven at 400 degrees and heat for 5-6 minutes or until warm. I don't recommend popping them in the microwave, it'll zap the texture and flavor.
