Serves: 8
Yields: 8 muffins
Ingredients
Muffins
- 1⁄2 cup milk
- 1⁄2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 3⁄4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons cocoa powder
- 1⁄4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- 1 tablespoon applesauce
- 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1⁄4 teaspoon almond extract
- 2⁄3 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
Cream Cheese Filling
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1⁄4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly spray muffin tin with canola oil (or use foil liners).
- In a small bowl, beat or whisk cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Place in the fridge while you prepare your muffin batter.
- In a glass measuring cup, stir apple cider vinegar into almond milk and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the flour mixture and add oil, applesauce, vanilla and almond extracts, and almond milk mixture. Stir with a fork until well combined. Fold in raspberries carefully.
- Fill 8 muffin cups with approximately 2 Tbsp of batter. Spoon about 1 Tbsp of cream cheese filling into the center of the cup, pressing down slightly so the muffin batter surrounds the edges. Top with another 2 Tbsp of muffin batter, covering most of the cream cheese filling.
- Bake 25-27 minutes. Cool in the muffin tins for 5 minutes before carefully transferring to a wire rack.
