Healthy Chocolate and Raspberry Muffins

I'm such a big proponent of mandatory morning teas. The time between breakfast and lunch is so often wasted, but I love pouring myself a cup of tea and having a sweet treat as I work/socialise/watch Law and Order. In short, I like to channel my inner Tom Haverfort and treat myself. This recipe makes a lovely chocolate muffin with bursts of raspberries, and tastes great with the creamy avocado frosting!
