How to make raspberry and white chocolate muffins

The recipe card with ingredient quantities and detailed instructions can be found at the bottom of the post

One: Weigh out the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Mix together the wet ingredients in a jug or bowl.

Two: Gently mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix.

Three: Fold in the fresh raspberries and white chocolate chips.

Four: Spoon the mixture into a 12 hole muffin tin, lined with muffin cases. Bake for 18 minutes.

💭 Top tips

Muffins don't like being over-mixed. Over-mixing will result in tough, chewy muffins. You want light and fluffy muffins, and that means gentle mixing and folding.

🍴 Serving suggestions

These muffins are great as an after-school snack for kids, with an ice-cold glass of milk, and maybe a cup of tea for Mum or Dad! Why not have a warm muffin, fresh from the oven for a quick and easy dessert with honeycomb ice cream?

They transport really well too, so they are great for taking on picnics or for charity bake sales.

📖 Variations

• There are lots of easy ways to vary the flavours in these muffins. You could substitute the raspberries for other berries like blueberries, or even blackberries when they are in season.
• The white chocolate chips could be swapped for milk chocolate chips, or they could be left out altogether.
• Instead of using plain natural yogurt you could use a raspberry or vanilla flavoured yogurt instead.

🥡 Storage

The muffins will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Store in a cool dry place like a pantry or cupboard.

🧊 Suitable for freezing?

These muffins freeze really well, so you could make a double batch and freeze half for another day. They take no time at all to defrost. I often take the muffins out of the freezer first thing in the morning and they are fully defrosted in time for a mid-morning snack.
