Tender and fluffy muffins filled with raspberries and white chocolate chips. A secret ingredient makes these Raspberry Muffins taste like they came from a bakery!

Muffins = cake for breakfast. And I am here for it. These are what I call “company muffins” or “special occasion muffins”. They are what you make when you want a muffin that is incredibly delicious and do not care about the fact that you’re basically eating cake filled with white chocolate for breakfast. 😉

These are a treat and they are well worth it.

Recipe overview

  • Combine dry ingredients in one bowl.
  • Cream the butter and sugar in another bowl. Add the remaining wet ingredients (eggs, extracts, sour cream).
  • Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk.
  • Stir in raspberries and white chocolate chips.
  • Scoop into muffin tin and bake!

    • Key ingredients

    These are the ingredients that help to make these muffins the BEST:

    • Sour cream: This adds richness and moisture and the acidity helps to activate the baking soda.
    • Extracts: I absolutely love using a combination of vanilla and almond extract extract. This gives a bakery-style flavor that can’t be beat.
    • Raspberries: Little pops of sweet and tart flavor all throughout the muffins.  
    • White chocolate chips: The pairing of tart raspberries and creamy sweet white chocolate is incredible. Not a fan of white chocolate? See below for substitutions.

    Why you’ll love these muffins

    Ease: The muffin batter comes together quickly and easily.

    Flavor: A combination of vanilla, almond extract, raspberries, and white chocolate.

    Texture: These muffins are soft and fluffy with a tender crumb.

    Recipe substitutions

    The recipe as written produces the best result (in my opinion), but you can make the following changes if you need to:

    Sour cream: Swap for plain yogurt. Preferably not nonfat.

    Almond extract: Leave out if you don’t have it or don’t like the flavor.

    Milk: Any plant based milk can be used in place of regular milk.

    Raspberries: I prefer fresh raspberries for this recipe, but you can use frozen raspberries. I recommend keeping them frozen (do not thaw). You might need to add a minute or two to the bake time.

    White chocolate chips: Swap for semisweet, dark, or milk chocolate chips, or leave it out.

    Ingredients

    Vanilla icing (optional):

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 400°F with a rack placed in the center of the oven. Grease a 12-count muffin tin.

    • In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

    • In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar for several minutes, until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add extracts and sour cream and beat until well combined (it might look a little curdled. That's OK).

    • Add half the dry ingredients, beating until just combined. Then add the milk, beating until just combined. Beat in the remaining dry ingredients. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula gently stir in raspberries and white chocolate chips.

    • Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups (it will be thick). I like to dampen my finger and smooth the top of each muffin. Place the muffin tin in the oven and immediately turn down the temperature to 375°F. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If desired, you can rotate the pan once during bake time to ensure even browning. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes, then remove the muffins and place on the rack to cool completely.

    Notes

    *Fluff the four with your measuring cup, scoop a heaping portion, and level it off with the back of a knife.  SERVING & STORAGE: These muffins are the best the day they are made. Leftovers can be stored tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving. I like to split the muffins and place in a 375°F oven for about 5 minutes.
