Jumbo Raspberry Chocolate Chop Muffins

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup light brown sugar
• 1 cup milk (or buttermilk), at room temperature
• ½ cup canola/vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2/3 cup chocolate chips, (semisweet or dark chocolate)
• 1 and ¼ cup fresh raspberries
• Coarse sugar for topping the muffins

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425F degrees. Spray jumbo a muffin pan with non-stick spray and set it aside.
2. In a large bowl, gently mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix until all dry ingredients are combined  and set it aside.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until
   combined. Mix in milk, oil, and vanilla extract. The mixture will be pale and yellow.
4. Fold the wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix everything together by hand. *Avoid over-mixing,* which will produce tough, dry muffins. Gently mix until all the flour is off the bottom of the bowl and no big pockets of flour remain. The batter will be extremely thick and somewhat lumpy.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips, then *very gently to avoid them from leaking their color,* fold in the raspberries.
6. Spoon batter into prepared muffin tins, filling all the way to the top. Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
7. Bake at 425F degrees for 5 minutes. Keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce oven temperature to 375F and continue to bake for 25-26 minutes until the
   tops are lightly golden. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
8. Allow cooling for 10 minutes. Muffins taste best fresh the same day. Store muffins at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Chocolate Zucchini Bread

This easy chocolate zucchini bread will remind you of your favorite chocolate cake!

Prep Time: 15 Minutes | Cook Time: 50 Minutes | Serves 12

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1/4 cup oil (canola oil, vegetable oil, or melted coconut oil will work)
• 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 and 1/2 cups packed shredded zucchini
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, divided

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, add the eggs, melted butter, oil, vanilla extract, and brown sugar. Stir until smooth. You might have a few small brown sugar clumps and that is fine.
4. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, don’t overmix. Stir in the shredded zucchini until just combined.
5. Stir in 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips.
6. Pour batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips over the top of the bread.
7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out mostly clean, you might have some melted chocolate chips on the toothpick and that is fine. You just don’t want a lot of gooey batter.
8. Remove the pan from the oven and set on a wire cooling rack. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
9. Run a knife around the edges of the bread and carefully remove from the pan. Let the bread cool on the wire cooling rack until slightly warm. Cut into slices and serve.

Notes:

• If you use coconut oil, make sure it is melted and slightly cooled.
• The bread will keep on the counter, wrapped in plastic wrap, for up to 4 days.
• This bread also freezes well. To freeze, cool the bread completely and wrap in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 1 month. Defrost before slicing.
