Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, and brown sugar. Stir until evenly mixed.
Add the dark chocolate chips to the dry ingredients, tossing lightly to coat the chips with the flour mixture. This helps prevent them from sinking during baking.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, milk, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
Gently fold the fresh raspberries into the batter, being careful not to crush them too much. The batter will be thick.
Evenly divide the batter among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean (a few melted chocolate bits are okay).
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
