Is there anything better than fresh, warm muffins for breakfast? Muffins are delicious treats to make in the morning. They are great for grab-and-go breakfast, in lunch boxes, or for a mid-afternoon snack.
The best part is that there are so many different ways and varieties to make them. We love keeping bags of Oreo muffins, chocolate muffins or banana bread muffins in our freezer for busy mornings.

Main Ingredients
This white chocolate raspberry muffin recipe uses essential ingredients common in most pantries.
- All-Purpose Flour - Use the fluff and spoon method to avoid adding too much flour to the batter. See how to measure flour if you are unsure.
- Granulated Sugar - Sweetens the muffin batter.
- Baking Powder - Allows the muffins to rise as they bake.
- Buttermilk - Regular milk can be substituted. You can also make your buttermilk by combining milk with one tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar. Let it sit until it curdles before adding it to the mix.
- 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.
- Whole Milk - Thin the glaze until it can be drizzled over each sweet muffin. Heavy cream can also be used.
- Tools - Mixing bowl, measuring spoons, mixing utensils, muffin tin, muffin liners, wire rack
How to Make Raspberry White Chocolate Muffins
These raspberry and white chocolate muffins are easy and delicious to make in minutes. Put on your apron and let the aroma fill your kitchen with warmth and happiness.
- Mix the dry ingredients. Stir flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder in a large bowl. Create a "hole" in the center of the ingredients.
- Add the wet ingredients. Whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the center of the dry ingredients, then mix until a smooth batter forms.
- Stir in mix-ins. Gently fold the raspberries and white chocolate chips into the batter so they do not get crushed.
- Bake and cool. Fill the muffin tins ⅔ full with batter. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the edges are lightly brown. Remove and then let them cool before adding the 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 zest to 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 the unglazed muffins 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
Feel free to experiment with your favorite berries, like blueberries or blackberries. The key is to maintain that perfect balance of sweetness and tartness.
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.
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.

Ingredients
For the Muffins
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
- ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups rough chopped raspberries (chop then measure)
- 1 cup white baking chips
For the Glaze
- 1 cup sifted powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a muffin tin with liners or spray with non-stick baking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Make a well in the center of the ingredients.
- Whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until combined and smooth.
- Stir it into the dry ingredients until the batter comes together, and everything is combined. Use the whisk on the side of the bowl to remove any excess batter.
- Use a rubber spatula to stir in the raspberries and baking chips gently. Fill the muffin tins ⅔ of the way full with the batter and place in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. The edges will be lightly brown, and the center should spring back under your finger.
- Let the muffins cool on a wire rack until cool to the touch.
