RASPBERRY PICKING!!
And since we’re smack dab in the middle of the fall raspberry picking season, I thought it’d be the perfect time to share one of my favorite dark chocolate raspberry recipes!

Gluten Free Vegan Dark Chocolate Muffins… with the Trifecta of YUM
What is the Trifecta of YUM you ask? Well, it’s a three-part combo of deliciousness that is unparalleled by anything else (except for, er, you know, the usual: PB + Coconut + Chocolate, or Pumpkin + Chocolate + Oatmeal, or… oh, you know what I mean!):
- Fresh Raspberries
- Decadent Dark Chocolate
- Mocha (aka chocolate and coffee)
How Do These Vegan Chocolate Raspberry Muffins Taste?
Like the best thing ever! Okay, maybe that was a tad vague. 😉 Think: your favorite velvety, deep dark chocolate bar + freshly-picked, juicy, ripe raspberries + the best cup of piping hot mocha coffee!
These vegan dark chocolate raspberry mocha muffins are the perfect combination of lightly sweet, lightly tart fruitiness plus sweet & dark chocolate, all delicately complemented by notes of mocha flavor.
How Do I Make These without Chocolate? Where Can I find Non-Chocolate Fruit Muffins Recipes?

What Tools & Ingredients Should I Use To Make These Vegan Chocolate Muffins?
Here are my favorites! (Click the links to see exactly what I used to make these gluten free chocolate raspberry muffins!)
- Flour Sifter – THE best flour sifter! I’ve got 3 of these (because there are always at least 3 different muffins being prepped at the same time) and they haven’t tarnished or stopped sifting flour beautifully after 100s of uses.
- Cupcake Muffin Holder
- Muffin Pan
- Coconut Cream
- Ice Cream Scoop – the easiest way to evenly distribute muffin batter. Seriously makes your muffin-making life way easier.

Description
Vegan Dark Chocolate Raspberry Mocha Muffins (GF): decadent, rich, dark chocolate vegan muffins packed with juicy, fresh raspberries, gooey chocolate chips & a coffee kick! Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups gluten free oat flour – if using homemade oat flour, make sure it’s very finely ground (not coarse)*
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons strong coffee, cold or room temperature
- 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
- 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Add-in Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups fresh raspberries, washed and dried
- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
Optional Topping
- 2 tablespoons fresh raspberries, washed and dried
- 1 tablespoon vegan chocolate chips
Optional Chocolate Ganache Drizzle
- 1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons coconut cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, sift together the dry ingredients: oat flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- Add coffee and milk to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 10-second increments until just warm. This will prevent the melted coconut oil from solidifying once mixed with these liquids.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients: coffee, milk, coconut oil, sugar, maple syrup and vanilla. Whisk until well incorporated.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Whisk until just incorporated, making sure no flour patches remain. Fold in raspberries and chocolate chips. Optionally, dot the tops of each muffin with raspberries and chocolate chips.
- Pour batter evenly into prepared muffin pan—filling each cup about 3/4 of the way for a higher quantity of smaller muffins, and all the way to the top for a lower quantity of larger muffins with big, domed tops. Bake for 16-22 minutes. Mine took 20 minutes for larger muffins.
- Place muffin pan on a cooling rack to cool for 30 minutes. Remove muffins from pan and continue cooling on rack until completely cool, 1-3 hours. To make Chocolate Drizzle: Add Chocolate Ganache Drizzle ingredients to a small, microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second increments until softened and smooth, stirring in between each increment. Spoon or pipe ganache over muffins. Enjoy!

Notes
- *If using homemade oat flour, make sure to sift the flour to remove coarse bits of oats that could create grainy, overly moist muffins without domed tops.
- Storing instructions: Best the first day. Loosely cover muffins and store at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Or, freeze immediately after cooling for 1 month. Allow to thaw for 10-20 minutes before enjoying or heat in 10-second increments in the microwave until just warm.

Hello! Can I bake this into a small 6 or 4 inch cake?
If yes, at what temperature and for how many minutes?
Thank you!
Can this recipe be made into a 6” double layered cake?
Hi
Can I bake this into a cake ?
8 or 9 inch ?
Any changes required?
Hi
Can i use frozen raspberries?
Hi there! Yep, that should be fine. Just know that frozen may affect the overall texture a bit. Happy baking!
Hi
How many spoons of coffee powder should I use to yield the amount that is required for this recipe ?
Hi there! Since the amount can vary by brand, I recommend making 1 cup (8 oz) of coffee according to the instructions in the coffee powder you have and then measure out the amount needed for this recipe. Happy baking!
Oooo I’m in love with that chocolate raspberry combo. Drooling!!
It’s seriously such a tasty pairing!

Chocolate and raspberry are the perfect combo. That chocolate ganache puts this out of this world!
So true!! Thanks so much, Dorothy!
Hi there,
Could regular gluten free flour be used rather than oat flour?
Cheers
Gaby
Hi Gaby, I think that might just work. I haven’t tried it myself, but I know of many readers who sub the oat flour in my recipes with GF all purpose flour. Let me know how it turns out! 🙂
What a perfectly sweet treat! Nothing better than chocolate and berries!
Thank you, Sara! Truly!
