Raspberry White Chocolate Muffins Recipe posted by Staff Writer Pin Share Tweet Email Jump to Recipe Super soft and fluffy muffins filled with juicy raspberries and creamy delicious white chocolate. Raspberries + white chocolate make me go weak in the knees. And when they are folded into a soft, fluffy, jumbo muffin? Even better. I’m on a bit of a muffin kick recently (see these Vanilla Almond Poppyseed Muffins). But I don’t really mind. I mean, any excuse to make a cupcake and eat it for breakfast should be repeated as often as possible– amIright?! These white chocolate raspberry muffins may actually be even better than cupcakes. I started with my favorite base muffin recipe (the same one I used in these Blueberry Crumble Muffins and those Poppyseed Muffins). I’m obsessed with it because it makes muffins that are SUPER soft and fluffy, even after a day or two (not that they ever last that long). Something very important to keep in mind when you’re mixing up muffins (or any kind of quick bread): don’t over mix! What does this mean exactly? Here’s my best description: once you’ve mixed up the wet ingredients (and feel free to mix those up as much as you want, it won’t hurt a thing) and are adding the DRY ingredients, fold them together using a wooden spoon or spatula. I don’t like to use an electric mixer at this point, just to be safe. And then once you reach that point that you’re thinking “almost there, just one or two more times with my spoon and it will be perfectly smooth;” THAT is when you need to STOP mixing. Just before you think you’re done and when there are still a few very small visible streaks of flour. Make sense? And in a recipe like this one where you’ll also be tossing in mix-ins (raspberries and white chocolate), you’ll want to stop even just a little bit before that so you can fold in the extra stuff. Capiche? One last thing before you start mixing up a batch of these muffins– the secret to making these tall, perfectly domed tops! I like to give my muffins a little extra umph in the oven by cranking up the temp to 400ยบF for the first 5 minutes of baking and then taking the temp back down to 350ยบF for the rest. These muffins are so dreamy, and I can’t wait for you to make them!

These muffins are beautiful, any time of the year! Great flavor combination too. I just bought raspberries yesterday at Costco:) P.S. I enjoyed your tribute to your grandmother:)
@Just Jaime Mine too!! I get it every single time we go– and that says a lot, because I am totally a chocolate and caramel kinda girl, AND I have literally never tried another slice of cheesecake there. Which is just wrong.
@Sue Thank you! It was really special for me to be able to honor her that way. Thanks for reading ๐

I am NOT a fan of white chocolate, but I remember a wonderful treat we used to make at the candy store. It was raspberry bark made with melted white chocolate and fresh raspberries, and it was TO DIE FOR. So when I saw these muffins, I knew I’d have to come check them out. I’m sure they are delicious! http://thebiggreenbowl.blogspot.com
