White Chocolate Raspberry Muffins

Jump to Recipe

These white chocolate raspberry muffins are moist and absolutely scrumptious. Full of melted chocolate and soft raspberries, they’re a treat that’s perfect for brunches and breakfast in bed. I also like them for school lunches or after school snacks. 

You don’t need any fancy equipment to make these muffins but I do enjoy making them in my Kitchenaid mixer. And having a good muffin pan helps too. I usually use paper cupcake liners but silicone baking cups work great too if you’re making them for your own family. 

Ingredients Needed for White Chocolate Raspberry Muffins: 

• butter
• white sugar
• brown sugar
• sour cream or plain yogurt 
• eggs
• vanilla extract
• whole milk
• all
• purpose flour

• white chocolate chips 

How To Make These Muffins:

• Preheat the oven and prepare the muffin pans.
• In the bowl of a mixer or in a bowl and using a hand mixer, cream together the sugars and butter. 
• Add the sour cream, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix till smooth. 
• Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and mix till combined. 
• Fold in the raspberries and white chocolate. 
• Scoop the dough into muffin cups in your pan. 
• Bake at 425 for 5 minutes and then lower the heat to 350 degrees and finish baking, usually about 18 minutes more. 
• Cool and enjoy!
• Store in an airtight container. 

I got the inspiration for this recipe from Sally on her ultimate muffin post. Something I learned from her that has made a big difference in how my muffins turn out is baking them first at 425 degrees for 5 minutes and then turning the heat down to 350 for the rest of the baking time which is usually 18 minutes. It makes the tops rise beautifully. 

I hope you enjoy these muffins! Happy Baking!
