    Is there anything better than having a batch of white chocolate raspberry muffins on hand? Based on my favorite blueberry muffin recipe, these raspberry muffins are so easy to whip up. No need for any fancy equipment, and I’ve got a tip on how to get tall muffin tops!

    I love having a batch of these white chocolate muffins in the freezer, that way I’ve got breakfast ready if I’m short on time, or I can serve them for brunch if I’ve got company over!

    Why You'll Love These Raspberry White Chocolate Muffins

    • This muffin recipe uses simple ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry.
    • Each muffin is bursting with pockets of tart raspberries! 
    • These raspberry white chocolate muffins are freezer friendly, so they’re perfect for meal prep.
    • You can easily make these muffins dairy free or gluten free, so they’re great for those with food allergies.

    Ingredients Needed

    Raspberry White Chocolate Muffins ingredients in bowls
    • Flour: you can use all purpose flour or gluten free 1-1 all purpose baking flour if you’re gluten intolerant.
    • Milk: feel free to use regular milk or vegan milk if you’re dairy free. If you’re using a plant based milk make sure it is unsweetened.
    • Butter: you can use regular butter or vegan butter.
    • Raspberries: this recipe works with both fresh and frozen raspberries. If the raspberries are large you can chop them in half. 
    • White Chocolate: you can use white chocolate chips or chop up a white chocolate bar. You can use regular white chocolate or vegan white chocolate if you’re dairy free. 
    • Baking Powder: make sure your baking powder hasn’t expired or the muffins might not rise properly.

    Step by Step Instructions

    Note: Full ingredient measurements and instructions can be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this page.

    Raspberry White Chocolate Muffins instructions in six steps

    Step 1: In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and set aside until cool.

    Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, salt, baking powder and sugar together. 

    Step 3: Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the cooled butter and mix until smooth, then add in the milk.

    Step 4: Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in the white chocolate chips, then gently stir in the raspberries. 

    Step 5: Cover the bowl and place in the fridge for 30 minutes - this is going to give you those tall muffin tops! 

    Step 6: Make the streusel topping by combining the light brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon and flour together in a medium bowl. Add the butter and mash everything together with a fork. Set aside. Once the muffin batter has chilled for 20 minutes, preheat the oven to 400°Fahrenheit and line a muffin pan with liners. 

    Step 7: Take the muffin batter out of the fridge and fill each muffin liner until it is ⅔ full. Sprinkle with streusel topping. Bake the muffins for 13-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing to a wire cooling rack.

    FAQs and Expert Tips

    Do I have to chill the muffin batter?

    You definitely don’t have to, but chilling the muffin batter is going to give you a higher muffin top!

    Can I use frozen raspberries?

    Yes you can, just be sure to add them straight to the muffin batter and not thaw them. If you thaw them they’ll be too wet for the muffin batter!

    Why aren’t my muffins soft and fluffy?

    You may have mixed the muffin batter too much when you added the dry ingredients, or you added too much flour.

    Expert Tips

    • I always recommend weighing your ingredients, especially your flour! Adding too much flour can make your raspberry white chocolate muffins dry. If you don’t have a scale, then make sure you use the scoop and level method to weigh out your flour. 
    • If using fresh raspberries, be sure to let them dry completely after washing before adding to the batter.
    • Don’t over-mix the muffin batter once you have added the dry ingredients, this can change the texture of the muffins. 
    • Feel free to leave out the streusel if you don’t want it!
    • Don’t have white chocolate on hand? Feel free to use milk or dark chocolate instead!
    • If you’re using fresh raspberries, make sure you pat them dry before adding to the muffin batter! If you’re using frozen raspberries, then you don’t need to thaw them before adding.

    Storage and Freezing Instructions

    Store the muffins in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days at room temperature.

    To freeze, place the cooled muffins in a freezer safe ziploc bag and freeze for up to 2-3 months. Microwave the muffin when ready to enjoy, or leave at room temperature to thaw!

    Notes

    Note:: I highly recommend using a kitchen scale to weigh your dry ingredients. Metric measurements are found above under the "Metric" tab.
    Flour: Properly measure your flour using the scoop and level method or a kitchen scale.
    Raspberries: If using fresh raspberries, make sure you pat them dry before adding to the muffin batter! If you’re using frozen raspberries, then you don’t need to thaw them before adding to the batter.
    Chilling the Batter: For nice, tall muffins chill the muffin batter for 20-30 minutes before scooping it into the liners. You can skip this step and the muffins will still taste delicious, but chilling the batter provides perfectly tall, rounded muffin tops.
    Storage and Freezing Instructions: Store muffins for 2-3 days at room temperature in an airtight container.
    Freeze the cooled muffins in a ziploc freezer bag for up to 2-3 months.  When ready to eat, take one out of the freezer and microwave it for 30 seconds (which makes them taste fresh out of the oven), or let it thaw at room temperature.
