Ingredients used
- self-raising flour - it helps achieve a fluffy texture
- baking powder - use it even if you add self-raising flour, as it helps the muffins rise
- eggs - make sure they are at room temperature
- sugar - I used granulated sugar, but caster sugar is also ok
- milk - full-fat milk is the best, skimmed or semi-skimmed are not creamy enough, resulting in the wrong texture
- vegetable oil - l prefer an odourless oil for bakes, rather than olive oil
- vanilla extract - it can be optional, but it adds a nice flavour
- raspberries - fresh, ripe and sweet
- white chocolate chips - or a white chocolate bar cut into pieces
Easy swaps
This recipe can't be any easier, I have made these raspberry white chocolate muffins several times, and the recipe works amazingly well every single time.
You can throw in some blueberries too, and you have the perfect muffins for your 4th of July celebrations, with a fabulous white, blue and red dessert.
Or, use a combo of white, milk and dark chocolate chips, or a combo of berries, as long as the amounts of ingredients used are not altered, the end product will be the same great dessert.
White chocolate chips can be replaced with milk or dark chocolate chips too, or a combo or the 3.

Expert tips
Make sure you keep an eye on the oven, I find that because of the white chocolate chips used, the muffins brown a lot quicker than other muffins made without white chocolate.
If you use frozen raspberries, make sure you thaw them beforehand, otherwise the batter will be too watery, resulting in soggy muffins.
Recipe FAQs
If the ratio wet ingredients to dry ingredients is not right, the muffins will not rise well, resulting in dry and hard muffins. Also, make sure you use self-raising flour and baking powder for a moist texture.
If the muffins are baked at a too high temperature, the white chocolate will burn quickly. I find that the best temperature for muffins is 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit).
No, muffins last well at room temperature if they are stored well in an air-tight container.
