Chile and Raspberry Muffins

Chile and raspberry muffins: Roasted Anaheim chiles and fresh raspberries in a buttermilk muffin.

Chile and Raspberry Muffins

These chile and raspberry muffins with roasted Anaheim chiles were such a delicious surprise. The combination of the fresh raspberries and the roasted chilies is unexpectedly delicious.

The buttermilk batter for these muffins is wonderful for creating your own delicious muffin recipe anytime you have a muffin emergency. Just add some fruit, veggies, cheese, and/or nuts, and you can create your own signature muffin.

You can top your custom muffins with streusel or a glaze, or leave them plain. It's up to you!

Roasted Chile and Raspberry Muffins

Note: To roast the chiles, I cut them in half lengthwise, removed the stem and seeds, and placed them skin side up on a foil lined sheet pan. Then I placed them about 10 inches below the broiler, and broiled them until the skin was blackened. You can also just roast them over a gas flame using tongs, but I don't have the patience.

To make the skin easy to peel off, place the hot chiles in a plastic bag, twist the end, and let them steam in the bag for a few minutes. The skin will come right off.

If you can't find Anaheim chiles, about 1 1/2 Poblanos are a good substitute.

Do you have extra sourdough starter? Try these blueberry cornmeal sourdough muffins. Do you love streusel on your muffins? Try these carrot muffinscoffee cake muffins, or vanilla pear muffins. For another berry muffin, bake some strawberry and orange muffins. After the recipe, you'll find even more links to muffin recipes from the #MuffinMonday participants. Muffins are pretty much the easiest treat to bake, and they make everyone happy.
