Raspberry and White Chocolate Muffins
Raspberry and White Chocolate Muffins are perfectly balanced. The combination of tart raspberries with rich white chocolate creates the perfect balance of flavours, making these muffins an absolute treat for brunch, afternoon tea, or any time you need to kick that sweet tooth craving. Spiced Apple, Peaches and Cream and Blueberry Lemon are other popular fruit muffin recipes.
Raspberry Muffin Ingredients:
- Plain flour: The base for your soft, fluffy muffins.
- Caster sugar: Just the right amount of sweetness.
- Baking powder: To help the muffins rise beautifully.
- Bicarb soda: Adds a little extra lift and lightness.
- Egg: Binds the ingredients together while adding richness.
- Olive oil: For moisture and a subtle depth of flavour.
- Natural or Greek yogurt: While adding moisture to the muffins, the yoghurt also creates a fluffy texture.
- Milk: Also for the moisture.
- Vanilla extract: Enhances the sweetness and complements the white chocolate.
- Frozen raspberries: Bursts of juicy tang in every bite. You can also use fresh, but I find frozen don’t ‘mush’ as easily.
- White chocolate chips: Creamy sweetness to balance the tartness of the berries.
Tips for Perfect Muffins:
- Don’t Overmix: Stir the batter just until the ingredients are combined to avoid tough muffins.
- Use Frozen Raspberries: They’ll hold their shape better and prevent the batter from turning too pink and watery.
- For Extra Indulgence: Sprinkle with a little icing sugar once the muffins have completely cooled.
Storage:
- Store the Raspberry and White Chocolate Muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to a week.
- These muffins (like most), also freeze. Pop them in an airtight container, and they’ll keep for up to 3 months… well, in theory they will, but the likelihood of there still being some in the freezer at this point is very low 😉
These Raspberry and White Chocolate Muffins are sure to become a favourite. Whether for brunch, an afternoon snack, a lunchbox treat or as a simple dessert, they’re the perfect balance of fruity and sweet!
