These bakery-style jumbo raspberry chocolate chip muffins are massive in both flavor and size. Bursting with plenty of chocolate and raspberries, their centers are moist and soft while the muffin tops are dense and slightly crunchy. You can use a jumbo muffin pan or a regular 12-count muffin pan. See recipe notes.
When beginner bakers ask me what type of recipe to try first, I always recommend muffins. Muffins are relatively easy and you don’t need to wait for them to cool before digging in. Muffins are quick, muffins are simple, muffins are always loved.
I love light, fluffy, cupcake-style muffins and you can find my base recipe for these cakey muffins in this master muffin recipe post. But let’s not limit ourselves. I also enjoy big bakery style muffins with a tight crumb, moist and dense center, and a tall crunchy muffin top. If the latter sounds more up your alley, you will LOVE this recipe and all of the options in my master bakery style muffin recipe post, which I updated as well.
These Raspberry Chocolate Chip Muffins Are:
- Bakery style jumbo muffins
- Soft and moist in the center with big crunchy tops
- Easy—no mixer required
- Quick—from mixing bowl to oven in minutes
- Loaded with chocolate chips & fresh raspberries (just like chocolate chip raspberry banana bread!)
I’ve had this muffin recipe in my archive for several years. Last year, I decided to improve the recipe by adding more flavor and moisture. This includes replacing some oil with extra melted butter, adding sour cream, and replacing some baking powder with baking soda. They’re adapted from my bakery style chocolate chip muffins and you will love the bright bursts of fresh raspberries in each bite!
Overview: Ingredients To Use & Why
- Flour: We use a lot of flour in this muffin recipe to keep the batter thick and sturdy, as well as to keep the add-ins (chocolate chips, berries) elevated.
- Baking Powder & Baking Soda: A lot of leavener creates a significant rise. I used to use all baking powder, but I recently began adding a touch of baking soda too. In addition to leavening, a little baking soda helps brown the exterior. (The recipe below includes this change!)
- Vanilla Extract & Salt: Use both for flavor.
- Eggs: Eggs add moisture and bind everything together.
- Sour Cream or Plain Yogurt: To keep the muffins extra moist, I began adding a touch of sour cream to this batter and I highly recommend it!
- Sugar: Use granulated sugar to sweeten these muffins.
- Oil & Butter: Oil produces a moist, tender muffin. Combine with melted butter for extra fat, moisture, and flavor.
- Milk: Milk adds plenty of moisture and lightens up the crumb.
- Coarse Sprinkling Sugar: For crunchy, sparkly muffin tops, I always add a sprinkle of coarse sugar. I like Sugar in the Raw or you can use white sparkling sugar sprinkles, usually found with the sprinkles in the baking aisle.
How to Make Bakery Style Jumbo Muffins (4 Tips)
Jumbo Raspberry Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe
Ingredients You’ll Need
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Generously grease a jumbo 6-count muffin pan with butter or nonstick spray (nonstick spray recommended) or line with muffin liners. Set aside.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Whisk the melted butter, oil, sugar, and eggs together until combined. Then whisk in the sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract. Mixture will be pale yellow. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and fold together with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon until completely combined. Use a whisk to rid any large lumps of flour, if needed. Avoid overmixing. The batter will be thick. Fold in the chocolate chips, then gently fold in the raspberries. (Gentle to help prevent them from bursting/breaking too much.)
- Divide batter between each muffin cup, filling all the way to the top. Sprinkle with coarse sugar (for added crunch, recommended!). Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then, keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue to bake for 25-30 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden brown and centers are set. Stick a toothpick in the center of a muffin to test for doneness. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done.
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes in pan before serving.
- Cover leftover muffins and store at room temperature for 5 days or in the refrigerator for 1 week. Muffins freeze well for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator or on the counter.
