Recipe Ingredient Notes
All purpose flour. Regular or gluten-free measure-for-measure flour blend can be used. For gluten-free baking we use and recommend Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free 1-to-1 baking flour.
Plain Greek yogurt. Use whole milk plain Greek yogurt for the richest results.
Whole milk. The fat content in the whole milk contributes to keeping the muffins moist and tender.
Raspberries. Use fresh berries and firm raspberries. No blemishes or mushy berries! The juicy berries add a sweet and lightly tart flavor to the tender muffins. Gently rinse the fresh raspberries and set on a paper towel to dab off any excess moisture.
White chocolate baking chips. These are actually vanilla baking chips! You’ll need 1/2 cup.

STEP 1. Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 16 muffin cavities with non-stick muffin liners or silicon baking cups.
STEP 2. Make the batter
In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda and whisk to mix together (photos 1-2).
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, vegetable oil, milk and vanilla extract (photos 3-4). Whisk until smooth and well combined (photo 5). Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined (photos 6-7).
Add the raspberries and white chocolate chips and fold in gently (photos 8-9). Make sure not to break the raspberries.
Fill each muffin cavity 2/3 with muffin batter (photos 10-11).
STEP 3. Bake and Cool
Bake for 20-25minutes or until golden brown muffin tops and cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. NOTE: if it goes into a raspberry it will be moist.
Transfer the muffins to a cooking wire rack and cool completely before serving (photo 12).
Variations
Substitute different baking chips. If you love dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips they’ll work in this recipe too! Swap them for the white chocolate baking chips.
Expert Tips
Spoon the flour, don’t scoop! To ensure the correct amount of flour spoon it into the measuring cup piled over the top and use a dining knife to scrape off any excess. This ensures fluffy muffins that won’t be too dense due to too much flour.
Do not overmix. Overmixing the batter will cause the muffins to become tough. Mixing just until the ingredients are combined makes a tender muffin.
How to store
Allow the raspberry white chocolate muffins to fully cool. Place in an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for 5 days.

Made these a few days ago an they were awesome! I bought more raspberries because they were on sale, so i just had to make these again! i just wanted to note that i don’t typically keep yogurt on hand- just sour cream, so that’s what I used. I did find the batter is quite thick- which would make it impossible not to crush the raspberries So i just layered the berries with the batter in each muffin well. Worked out great! Oh and i made 12 muffins. These are a bit hit with the kids too! Thank you!
