Dry Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ½ cup milk, room temperature
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup fresh raspberries (or slightly thawed frozen raspberries)
- ⅔ cup white chocolate chips or chunks
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined and aerated to create a fluffy base.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully blended.
- Bring Wet and Dry Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently fold with a spatula until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep muffins tender.
- Add Raspberries and White Chocolate: Carefully fold in the fresh raspberries and white chocolate chunks, distributing them evenly without crushing the berries.
- Bake the Muffins: Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, preserving their texture and preventing sogginess.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe raspberries for best flavor and moisture; thaw frozen raspberries slightly and drain excess moisture if using them.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins; mix until just combined.
- Fold ingredients gently to protect raspberries and avoid turning the batter purple.
- Check muffins for doneness a few minutes before the timer ends to prevent overbaking.
- Use room temperature eggs and milk for better batter consistency.
