  • Salted Butter- Unsalted butter will also work; add a pinch of salt to the batter.
  • Eggs- Adds moisture and holds the ingredients together.
  • Vanilla Extract- Gives more flavor.
  • Raspberries- Fresh berries are best in this recipe. If you use frozen berries, thaw and drain their juices before adding them to the rest of the batter.
  • White Baking Chips- Any brand that you have or prefer will work. White chocolate chunks or milk chocolate chips are also a great option.
  • Powdered Sugar- Used to make a sweet glaze.

Tips and Variations

  • Do NOT over-mix your batter! This can make your fluffy muffins tough.
  • No cupcake liners? Spray the muffin pan with a non-stick baking spray. Use a paper towel to wipe out the excess before filling with the muffin mixture.
  • Fill the liners neatly. Use a large cookie scoop to "spoon" the batter into each one.
  • All ovens bake differently. Before the timer goes off, check the muffins by inserting a toothpick into the center. The muffins are done if it comes out with just a few moist crumbs on them.
  • Enhance the flavor. Add toasted coconut, chopped nuts, or lemon zestto the batter before baking.

Storage Recommendations

On the Counter- Keep leftover muffins in a loosely covered container on the counter at room temperature for 2-3 days. The glaze will also start to soak into the tops of the muffins after a day or two.

In the Freezer- Store theunglazedmuffins in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw them at room temperature and heat each muffin in a microwave for 10-15 seconds before serving.

BruCrew Tip:Do not add the glaze if you plan to freeze these muffins. Add it to the muffin tops once you thaw them out.

FAQs

Can I use other berries?

Feel free to experiment with your favorite berries, like blueberries or blackberries. The key is to maintain that perfect balance of sweetness and tartness.

Can I use frozen raspberries instead of fresh ones?

If fresh raspberries are not in season or readily available, you can also use frozen raspberries. Thaw and drain them thoroughly before folding them into the batter. You might also want to toss a little bit of flour on them to prevent excess moisture from the juicy raspberries.

Can I make mini muffins with this recipe?

Yes, adjust the baking time for mini muffins to around 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them, and when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, they're ready to be devoured.

FAQs

What is the secret to high muffins? ›

The idea here is to start the muffins in a very hot oven for just a short amount of time. This activates the baking powder and allows the muffins to shoot up in height quickly. We then turn the heat down and continue to cook for longer. This is done to avoid over-browning and overbaking.

How many calories in a white chocolate and raspberry muffin? ›

Energy: 384 calories

Proportion of total calories contributed by protein, carbs and fat.

What does adding an extra egg do to muffins? ›

If there isn't enough egg, your batter or dough may not be able to hold its structure or could end up overly dry or dense. On the other hand, if there is too much egg, your baked goods could lose their shape due to excess liquid, or have a rubbery (or even overly cakey) texture depending on the recipe.

How do I get my muffins to rise higher? ›

Start the oven on high

Bake your muffins at 400°F for the first 5 minutes, then drop the temperature to the more standard 350°F for the remainder of the bake time. This method sparks the leavening agents (especially baking powder) in the batter to react quicker, creating that gorgeously risen top.

How do you make high domed muffins? ›

But if you want super domed muffins with seriously tall tops, rest the batter for an hour! This will allow the flour to hydrate and absorb the liquids in the batter more fully, leading to taller domes.

What ingredient makes muffins rise? ›

Baking soda, aka sodium bicarbonate, is a commonly known food additive and baking ingredient. While there are many uses of baking soda, it is commonly found in recipes as a leavening agent to help baked goods rise.
