White Chocolate Raspberry Muffins

White Chocolate Raspberry Muffins combine fresh raspberries and white chocolate chips in a tender muffin base flavored with vanilla, lemon zest, and melted butter. The batter is gently mixed to preserve the fruit’s texture and topped with coarse sugar for a sweet, crunchy crust. Melted white chocolate drizzled over cooled muffins adds extra richness.

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract pure
  • 3 TB butter melted, salted
  • 1 cup milk whole
  • 1 lemon of one lemon, zest
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 TB baking powder
  • ½ tsp table salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 ½ cups raspberries fresh
  • sugar for sprinkling, coarse
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips melted for drizzling

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400F with rack on lower middle position. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla, butter, milk, and lemon zest until incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold together the wet and dry ingredients just until combined. A few little streaks of flour is fine.
  5. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and raspberries. If some berries break apart, it is fine.
  6. Divide batter evenly between the lined muffin cups. Sprinkle tops with coarse sugar as desired.
  7. Bake for 19-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean. A few tender crumbs attached is good.
  8. Let muffins cool completely to room temp.
  9. Melt 1/2 cup white chocolate chips in microwave at 30-second intervals until smooth and creamy. Drizzle over tops of cooled muffins and serve.

Notes

  • Fold wet and dry ingredients gently to avoid overmixing, which can make muffins dense.
  • Handle raspberries carefully when mixing to prevent them from breaking and bleeding into the batter.
  • Sprinkle coarse sugar on muffin tops before baking for a crunchy, bakery-style crust.
  • Allow muffins to cool fully before drizzling melted white chocolate to maintain design and texture.
  • Using almond extract or a combination of vanilla and almond extracts can enhance flavor.
