Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup regular milk plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar as a substitute)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or vanilla paste)
Add-ins
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- 1½ cup raspberries (fresh or frozen, do not thaw if frozen)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup regular muffin pan or a 6-cup jumbo muffin pan, or line the pans with baking liners. Set aside.
- Sift Dry Ingredients: Using a mesh strainer, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, granulated sugar, and salt into a large mixing bowl. This ensures even distribution and a light texture.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a blender, add melted and cooled butter, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract. Blend on low speed for about 30 seconds until well combined. Alternatively, whisk these wet ingredients together in a medium bowl until smooth.
- Mix Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently and just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick and a bit lumpy.
- Fold in White Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
- Fold in Raspberries: Carefully fold the raspberries into the batter to avoid crushing them, maintaining their shape and juiciness.
- Fill Muffin Pan: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups.
- Bake: Bake regular-sized muffins for 20-30 minutes, or jumbo muffins for 35-45 minutes. The muffins are ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Remove the muffin pan from the oven and transfer to a wire rack. Let the muffins cool completely in the pan before removing them to prevent breakage.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender and light.
- If using frozen raspberries, do not thaw them before folding into the batter to avoid extra moisture.
- White chocolate chips can be substituted with regular chocolate chips for a different flavor variation.
- Ensure butter is cooled before blending with other wet ingredients to prevent cooking the egg.
- Use fresh raspberries for best flavor, but frozen raspberries work well and are convenient year-round.
