Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250 grams), fluffed, spooned, and leveled
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (plus extra 1-2 teaspoons for berries, optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs, at room temperature
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • ½ cup whole milk, room temperature
  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla bean paste

Mix-ins and Toppings

  • 6 oz raspberries (approximately 1¼ cups)
  • ⅔ cup white chocolate chips
  • Coarse sugar for topping muffins (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready once your batter is mixed.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, melted and cooled unsalted butter, vanilla bean paste, and whole milk until smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients bowl. Stir gently just until combined; avoid over-mixing to ensure the muffins remain tender and fluffy.
  5. Fold in Raspberries and White Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold the fresh raspberries and white chocolate chips into the batter to distribute evenly without breaking the berries.
  6. Prepare Muffin Tin: Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly. Scoop the batter evenly into the 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle coarse sugar on top if using for a crunchy topping.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 19-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • For best texture, do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine.
  • Use fresh or frozen raspberries; if using frozen, do not thaw to prevent excess moisture in the batter.
  • Room temperature ingredients help the batter blend smoothly and rise properly.
  • Coarse sugar topping is optional but adds a nice crunchy texture and subtle sweetness.
  • You can substitute white chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate chips if preferred.
