How to make it
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Gently fold in the raspberries and white chocolate chunks.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these White Chocolate Raspberry Muffins with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful and satisfying treat.
How you'll know it's ready
The muffins are ready when they are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Convection oven? (and if you don't have one)
If using a convection oven, lower the baking temperature to 350°F (175°C) and start checking for readiness a few minutes earlier, as the fan can speed up baking.
Troubleshooting
If the muffins are too dense, ensure you are not overmixing the batter.
If the muffins are dry, double-check your oven temperature with an oven thermometer.
If the muffins sink in the middle, make sure your baking powder is fresh.
Storage
Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze in a zip-top bag for up to 2 months.
Make ahead
You can prepare the batter and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before baking.
Variations
Substitute raspberries with blueberries or chopped strawberries for a different fruit flavor.
Add a streusel topping for extra texture and sweetness.
Drizzle with a simple white chocolate glaze after baking for added decadence.
Frequently asked questions
