Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk

Additions

  • 1.5 cups white chocolate chips (divided)
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners to ensure easy removal and cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasonings.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the melted unsalted butter with granulated sugar until well blended and slightly glossy.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time into the butter-sugar mixture to incorporate air and improve texture, then stir in vanilla extract for flavor.
  5. Incorporate Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing gently to prevent overworking the batter.
  6. Fold in Add-ins: Carefully fold in 1 cup of white chocolate chips and fresh raspberries, being gentle to avoid crushing the berries and overmixing the batter, which keeps muffins light and fluffy.
  7. Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
  8. Bake the Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating doneness.
  9. Melt Extra White Chocolate: While the muffins bake, melt the remaining 1/2 cup of white chocolate gently using a double boiler or microwave for drizzling.
  10. Cool and Drizzle: After baking, let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle melted white chocolate over the cooled muffins for an elegant finish.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter; gentle folding helps keep the muffins tender and fluffy.
  • Use fresh raspberries for peak flavor and texture that brightens the muffins.
  • Optionally, sprinkle coarse sugar on top before baking for a crunchy, sweet crust.
  • For nut-free muffins, simply omit the chopped nuts or substitute with your preferred mix-ins.
  • Melt the white chocolate carefully to avoid burning or seizing.
