Why I love this recipe

I love the combination of fresh raspberries and chocolate, especially when paired with dark chocolate. So why not combine them with banana bread ingredients to make the perfect muffin? These tasty muffins are perfect for breakfast, snacks, dessert, or as a side to your dinner.  This small batch recipe yields 6 muffins.

Serve them with these easy Pork chops over stuffing or this Tilapia Parmesan for two.

Expert tips

You can use semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, or dark chocolate chips.

For an extra tasty treat and some added crunch, sprinkle some coarse turbinado sugar on top of the muffin batter right before baking.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for 4-5 days on the countertop.

Recipe FAQs

Can bananas be too ripe for banana bread muffins?

Actually, the darker the better. There’s no such thing as a too-ripe banana when you’re making banana bread. Overripe bananas work best in banana bread and muffins.
