Fresh Raspberry White Chocolate Muffins
There are only a few weekends left before my soldier deploys, so I want to make each one special. This morning I whipped up a batch of Fresh Raspberry White Chocolate Muffins for our family to enjoy. Food is an important part of any weekend celebration, and these muffins will be a delicious addition to our time together.
Raspberries are my favorite fruit.... EVER. White chocolate is my husbands favorite chocolate... EVER. Put them together... a match made in muffin heaven!
I can't take credit for this recipe though, it originally comes from Sally's Baking Addiction. If you haven't read Sally's blog... you totally need to. She's got some of the most beautiful food I've ever seen. Sally's recipe uses dark-chocolate chips and sanding sugar on top... Mine have white chocolate and sugar in the raw. (Oh... and I totally forgot to add the vanilla to mine. WHOOPS!)
Either way... you can't lose with this recipe. It makes the PERFECT muffin!
Enjoy!
Fresh Raspberry White Chocolate Muffins
Ingredients
- 3 cups flour
- 4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¼ cup light brown sugar, gently packed
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 230g fresh raspberries (about 1 to 1 ½ cups)
- Sugar in the Raw
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 F degrees. GENEROUSLY spray entire muffin/cupcake pan (in the cups and on top) with non-stick spray. You could also use cupcake liners, but I'd suggest still spraying the top of the pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the sugars and whisk for about 2 minutes or until pale yellow, creamy and smooth.
- Add the milk, oil and vanilla and whisk until combined.
- Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry while slowly whisking. Whisk until all the flour is off the bottom of the bowl and no more pockets of flour remain.
- Add the chocolate chips and fresh raspberries and GENTLY FOLD them into the batter. Be careful not to break up the raspberries!
- Fill each hole in the muffin pan to the top with batter. Sprinkle the tops generously with Sugar in the Raw.
- Bake for 5 minutes at 425 F degrees. Reduce heat to 375 F degrees and bake an additional 12-14 minutes our until tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in pan for 10-15 minutes before removing to a wire rack. NOTE: I ran a knife along the edges of the muffins before removing to help ease them out of the pan.
- Eat immediately. Don' store them... just EAT THEM! YUM!
White chocolate and raspberry is always a winning combo! The muffins look delicious 🙂
Thanks!! They were super yum!
I love your Polish Pottery cupcake pan! .........your cupcakes look amazing also!
Thanks, Marty! I got it on my 1st trip to Poland!
That is one lovely muffin!
It was deliciously lovely!! Thanks, Jocelyn!
These look awesome! I'm so glad you made my recipe. Must try with white chocolate. YUM! Thanks for all the kind words about my blog and photos. 🙂
Thanks for the great recipe, Sally! 🙂
Your muffins look scrumptious, Betsy! I love the white chocolate-raspberry combination, especially with fresh berries! A great muffin to make a weekend morning special. 🙂 Wishing you wonderful weekends with your family before and after deployment!
Thanks, Wendy! I'm enjoying the last muffin with my coffee this morning! YUM!
Ever since you posted these I have been dreaming of them! In my oven now. Was munching fresh raspberries together with the white chocolate chips while mixing. Cannot wait for the timer to go off.
These muffins are as tasty as they look! Loved them, Betsy. A winning combo! One question for you Betsy, What is the best way to store muffins/cupcakes? I let them cool completely and stored in a Tupperware container, but without fail, the muffins got a little mushy, I am mindful to totally cool. Any advice, as the tops that were so scrupmptious became soft. Would welcome any thoughts. Helen
You know... I put that as the way to store them because the recipe I derived these cupcakes come said to do so. BUT... I think I'd either 1)eat them immediately or 2) store them with the lid partially open. Mine ended up soggy as well. But... I still ate them. hehe
thanks for the storage advice, I will try the open lid next time. They did not last long as you say!
You're welcome! <3
These were as yummy as they look!
Looking for storage advice, I totally cooled the muffins and stored in airtight container, but the next day the muffins were rather soggy, the yummy crisp tops were soft, any advice? Would welcome ideas. My thanks. Helen
I love rapberries and white chocolate! These look so delicious. I want one now please. 🙂
Thanks, Tina!
