Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 large lemon
Add-ins
- 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or parchment tulip cups.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, oil, vanilla, and lemon zest until smooth.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Set out your muffin tin and get your liners in place. Spray them lightly with cooking spray if desired.
- Assemble the Dish: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry. Mix until just combined—lumps are okay! Fold in the raspberries and white chocolate chunks.
- Cook to Perfection: Divide the batter evenly among muffin cups. Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F and continue baking for 15-18 minutes until tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Finishing Touches: Let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are delicious with a smear of butter or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
- Do not thaw frozen raspberries before using to avoid bleeding into the batter.
- Add a sprinkle of raw sugar on top for a crunchy finish.
- Use tulip-style muffin liners for a bakery-style presentation.
- Chill white chocolate chunks for 10 minutes before folding in to keep them firm during baking.
- Avoid overmixing batter to prevent dense, rubbery muffins.
- Check muffins early to prevent overbaking and dryness.
- Use an ice cream scoop for evenly sized muffins.
