Double chocolate muffins with chunks of raspberries that are free of dairy, eggs, and refined sugar with a gluten-free alternative included. Made with only a few wholesome ingredients, these muffins are easy to make and very delicious!
Since the beginning of January, we’ve been eating clean—lots of green smoothies, salads for lunch, plant-based meals for dinner, and have drastically cut down on sweets. It’s been great! But, of course there’s a but, I have missed my chocolate! So I set out to make a dessert-like treat, that’s delicious enough to be a treat, but made with wholesome ingredients.
Boy, do these double chocolate raspberry muffins fit the bill! They’re made with oat and all-purpose/gluten free all-purpose flour, so they can easily be made gluten-free, and are also free of dairy, eggs, and refined sugar.
They’re everything you love about a cupcake, but in muffin form! The simple maple syrup/cocoa glaze, is totally optional, but gives that frosting-like touch to take it over the top! Enjoy!

- Make a flax egg by mixing together 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water. Let sit for a few minutes until gelled together.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine oat flour, ap flour, coconut sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder/soda, and salt. Add milk, flax egg, oil and vanilla, mixing just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Fill muffin cups almost full and sprinkle extra chocolate chips, plus 2–3 raspberries on top of each muffin cup of batter.

Can i sub the flax egg with a normal egg? They look amazing!
Yes, a regular egg will work! I hope you enjoy them! 🙂
How much vinegar do you add to the milk to sour it? It doesn’t say. Thank you
Can’t wait to try, it looks delish!
Hi Cheryl, there isn’t any vinegar! Updating the instructions now! Enjoy!
Hello in the directions it mentions mixing milk with vinegar but I didnt see vinegar in the ingredients
Hi Cheryl, I’m sorry there is no vinegar in the recipe. I had previously used vinegar as a leavening ingredient, but I ended up changing it to use baking powder instead since it’s easier. I just forgot to remove it from the instructions! I’ll update the recipe now!
Mmmm…my mouth is watering…
Nice photography!!! Pinning 🙂
Wow. I [refer almond flour because it is low in carbohydrates and also gluten free.
My kids will love these! I can’t wait to try them!
Oh I how adore these muffins so much! I love that they’re healthy but look so decadent! I need to try baking with oat flour more often. The photography and styling is brilliant, Joscelyn!
Bring on the double chocolate – these muffins are perfection! 🙂
