Sugar Free Raspberry Chocolate Chip Muffins are a real indulgence. These delectable muffins use healthy ingredients including Monk Fruit Sweetener and gluten free flour along with sugar free chocolate chips. Raspberries and chocolate add the touch of decadence that makes these muffins irresistible. While these muffins are great for diabetics or those with Celiac, you can also make them with regular flour and sugar with fantastic results. Great for a weekend, company or holiday breakfast.
Line two 12-tin regular muffin pans with paper liners.
Spray the liners with cooking spray; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl combine gluten free flour, monk fruit sweetener, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Stir in chocolate chips; set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl combine half-and-half or milk, melted butter, sour cream, egg and vanilla extract.
Whisk until well combined.
Rinse raspberries gently in colander with cold running water.
Drain and pat dry gently between layers of paper towels.
Add liquid measure to dry mixture along with the raspberries.
Stir only until moistened.
Do not overmix.
Fill 20 muffin liners completely full with muffin mixture.
Top with Streusel Topping.
Press the streusel topping ingredients into the tops of the batter slightly so crumbs adhere.
Add chocolate chips on top and press lightly into streusel topping.
Bake at 425º for 5 minutes.
Reduce heat to 350º and continue baking about 15-19 minutes longer, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
STREUSEL TOPPING:
Combine gluten free flour, monk fruit sweetener and oatmeal in a medium mixing bowl until well mixed.
Cut in butter with a pastry blender until coarse crumbs form.
Sprinkle evenly over top of muffins.
Press mixture lightly into batter so the topping adheres to the batter.
Then add 16-18 chocolate chips over top of each muffin.
Again, press the chocolate chips into the streusel topping gently so they adhere to the ingredients.
Notes
NOTE: I used two 7-ounce bags HU (Get Back to Human) No added sugar chocolate chips without erythritol. The four ingredients include organic cacao, organic date, organic cocoa butter and organic vanilla bean.NOTE: I used Super Life Stevia and Monk Fruit Sweetener. One 8.8-oz. bag is approximately one cup. This product is erythritol free and sucralose free.NOTE: I purchased the King Arthur gluten free flour, Monk Fruit Sweetener and the HU sugar free chocolate chips at our local Walmart.NOTE: I did not use the complete bag of chocolate chips for the topping.NOTE:If your chocolate chips are not very sweet, you may find it necessary to increase the monk fruit sweetener to 1 ½ cups.
