Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups 250g all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup 115g unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- ¾ cup 150g granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup 120g plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
- ½ cup 120ml milk
Add-ins:
- 1 cup 150g fresh or frozen raspberries (do not thaw if frozen)
- ¾ cup 130g white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the wells with butter or nonstick spray.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add in the eggs, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, and milk, mixing until fully combined.
Step 4: Bring It All Together
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix—this ensures a light and fluffy texture.
Step 5: Fold in Raspberries & White Chocolate
- Gently fold in the raspberries and white chocolate using a spatula. If using frozen raspberries, be extra gentle to prevent them from bleeding into the batter.
Step 6: Fill the Muffin Cups
- Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, evenly divide the batter between the muffin liners, filling each about ¾ full.
Step 7: Bake to Perfection
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 8: Cool & Enjoy
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
