Why you will love these muffins
- Quick to prep - 10 minutes tops
- Easy to make - just mix, scoop, and bake - there's not much more to it
- Juicy and moist with melted and browned and slightly crispy chunks of white chocolate on top
- Not too sweet but sweet enough to satisfy your sweet tooth
- Packed with raspberry and white chocolate flavor - striking the perfect balance between sweet and fresh
What you need to make them
- Butter - I always use salted butter, but if you want to use unsalted butter just add a pinch of salt as well
- Raspberries need to be fresh, as frozen will add too much water - but you can switch fresh raspberries for the same amount of fresh blueberries or chopped fresh strawberries
- Vanilla sugar can be substituted for vanilla extract, at the same amount
- Milk - feel free to use low fat or full fat, whatever you have
How to make them
- Start by placing softened butter and sugar in a mixing bowl
- Mix well using an electric whisk, until a bit fluffy
- Add eggs
- Mix well again
- Add shredded white chocolate
- Mix well - but don't use an electric whisk for this. Then set aside for now.
- In another bowl, combine all dry ingredients (flour, vanilla sugar and baking powder)
- Then mix together
- Set aside 12 of the raspberries, then add the rest to the dry ingredients
- Mix gently
- Add the flour & raspberry mixture to the eggs, butter & sugar batter together with the milk
- Mix until everything is well combined, but no more than that, and don't use an electric whisk for this
- Bring out a muffin tin (or a regular oven tray) and line with 12 muffin liners, then scoop in muffin batter. Take care not to fill the liners to more than ¾.
- Top each muffin with a raspberry (from those 12 you set aside) and press gently to submerge it about halfway in the batter
- Top with chopped white chocolate and then bake for 20 minutes at 200C/400F. When done, a cake tester or tooth pick inserted in the middle should come out dry or almost completely dry.
- Bring out from the oven and set aside to cool for at least 10 minutes.
Tips & tricks
- Store in a jar, with a paper napkin between the muffins and the lid, to keep the top crispy and the muffin moist.
- Microwave butter to soften it quickly - 30 seconds on half effect usually does the trick
- Let the muffins rest for at least 10 minutes after baking, or they will likely fall apart when trying to eat them
- Softened butter instead of melted butter is the secret to the moistest muffins
Recipe FAQ
Yes! These muffins are delicious with fresh blueberries or chopped fresh strawberries instead of raspberries.
Yes! These muffins freeze really well but will loose some of that crispy texture on top. Just freeze them as soon as possible after they cool down. When you want to eat them, either let them thaw for a few hours in room temperature, heat for 5 minutes in the oven on low temperature or in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
Yes! This batter is pretty thick so they will still come out nice - however, they might spread a little bit more outwards and not come out as domed.

I tried these with both raspberries and strawberries, and both versions were great! My family tends to prefer strawberries, and I love white chocolate, so we will be making these again. And soon! And since they are muffins, they count as eating chocolate for breakfast, right?!

Love that Stephanie, so happy they turned out great for you and thanks for letting me know! And yes - it totally does 😉

Thee muffins look so good! Raspberries are a bit rare here so might have to replace them with strawberries like you suggested.

Thank you, Nart! Do it - that makes for amazing muffins as well!
