Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 6 oz fresh raspberries
- 2/3 cup white chocolate chips
- Coarse sugar for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined. This ensures even distribution of leavening agents.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the melted butter, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until the wet ingredients are fully blended to create a smooth base.
- Incorporate Dry Into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep muffins tender and light.
- Fold in Raspberries and White Chocolate: Carefully fold in fresh raspberries and white chocolate chips, taking care not to crush the berries to maintain their shape and texture.
- Fill Muffin Liners: Spoon the batter into muffin liners, filling each about two-thirds full for proper rise. Optionally, sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar for a sweet, crunchy topping.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 19-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the muffins are fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Remove muffins from the oven and let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins.
- Carefully fold in raspberries to keep them intact and prevent color bleeding.
- Using fresh raspberries is best for flavor and texture, but frozen raspberries can be used if thawed and drained.
- Coarse sugar topping is optional but adds a crunchy texture and sparkle to the muffins.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
