In Damnation (Blue Moon Saloon, Book 1), Jessica makes raspberry-chocolate muffins that Simon drools over. That’s actually a recipe I’ve been using for a while. Why don’t you give it a try?
You can use different types of berries (raspberry is Simon’s favorite) and try it with or without chocolate chips. My kids and I like using fresh raspberries from the local fields, but I’ve “cheated” in winter and used frozen berries, too. They all come out really tasty, so enjoy!
