These Bakery-Style Hazelnut Chocolate Raspberry Muffins are moist, vanilla-y and simply divine!<\/h2>\n

What plans do you have for Valentine’s Day? We are gonna kick the day off with a proper muffin breakfast in bed!<\/p>\n

That means we are going to dive into these moist and fluffy Raspberry Muffins with Hazelnut Chocolate and Advocaat Liqueur<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Are they especially lovey-dovey-looking? No, but let me tell you, the flavour combo of vanilla-ey, advocaat-laced batter, fresh raspberries and chunks of hazelnut <\/strong>chocolate is pure love.<\/p>\n

\"halved<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is Advocaat \/ German Egg liqueur? <\/h3>\n

Advocaat<\/b> or Eierlik\u00f6r<\/b> is a traditional Dutch liqueur made from whole eggs, sugar, and brandy, vodka or rum. The rich and creamy drink has a smooth, vanilla custard-like flavour and I used it all the time for baking while still living in Germany.<\/p>\n

It makes your baked goods incredibly moist and adds a really neat vanilla flavour. You can purchase it at your local liqueur store or simply try my recipe for the best homemade German Egg Liquor.<\/a> Store-bought eggnog is also a possible substitution!<\/p>\n

\"Easy<\/p>\n

How to get perfect well-risen bakery-style muffins every time:<\/h3>\n

Now, usually, the instructions for making muffins tell you to fill the molds 3\/4 full. I like my hazelnut chocolate raspberry muffins<\/strong> sky-high and bakery-style<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To achieve this, I fill my muffin pans all the way to the top.  If using a regular muffin tin, this batter will fill 8 large tins to the brim. You will get at least 10 out of small muffin pans.<\/p>\n

The most important thing is the temperature. The trick is to set the initial oven temperature quite high, then lower it as the muffins bake. Setting the oven to a high temperature lifts the muffin top up quickly and creates a solid crust. <\/p>\n

 That is why you fill the muffin pans to the top, right?<\/p>\n

\"easy<\/p>\n

Can I use frozen raspberries for this muffins recipe? <\/h3>\n

A word about the frozen vs. fresh raspberry issue! I used frozen raspberries and did not thaw them before mixing them into the batter. <\/p>\n

 I made sure to break them into tiny bits and just folded them into the batter right in the very very end and I found that there was not much raspberry juice-leakage in the batter.<\/p>\n

You can of course also use fresh raspberries in this muffin recipe.<\/p>\n

Now for the chocolate! I used a packet of nougat, a German baking staple made from hazelnut and chocolate.<\/p>\n

It is a bit like Nutella but tastes way stronger of hazelnuts. The closest thing to nougat I have come across here in North America are Lindt LINDOR Hazelnut Milk Chocolate Truffles<\/a>\"\".<\/p>\n

So you can chop up a couple of these or you take High Quality Chocolate Hazelnut Spread<\/a>\"\", spread the desired amount on a baking sheet, freeze it, and cut in into chunks. Can you take regular chocolate with hazelnuts in it? Sure!<\/p>\n

\"Fuffy<\/p>\n

I am telling you, these bakery-style, fluffy Hazelnut Chocolate Raspberry Muffins are just too good to resist and I know they will become a new favourite in your home as well! <\/p>\n

What’s not to love about a muffin bursting with fresh raspberries and half-molten hazelnut chocolate?<\/p>\n

They are a family favourite any time of the year, but I especially recommend them as a sweet treat for Valentine’s Day! There’s something about the vanilla-raspberry-chocolate combo, that just screams romance, right?<\/p>\n

I will make them again for Easter Brunch. That is if they are not requested a million times in between.<\/p>\n
