How to Make White Chocolate Raspberry Muffins:

What Can I Substitute for Buttermilk?
If you don’t have buttermilk, it’s easy to make your own. Simply combine one cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar.
How Do I Make My Muffins Light and Fluffy?
The trick is not to overmix the muffin batter. When doing so, it results in a denser, heavier muffin.
How Long Will These Last?
Store these easy raspberry muffins in an airtight container for up to five days.
Can I Freeze Muffins?
Absolutely! Place the cooled muffins in a freezer-safe container or bag and freeze for up to three months.
Tips for Making the Best White Chocolate Raspberry Muffins:
- Fresh or frozen berries work for these muffins. If using frozen raspberries, defrost before using.
- Buttermilk works best in this recipe, but whole milk or 2% can be substituted if needed.
- A good quality white chocolate makes this recipe extra special. I like to use Ghirardelli white chocolate chips or Ghirardelli chopped white chocolate.
- No white chocolate chips? Chopped white chocolate or milk chocolate chips would work just as well.
- A touch of lemon zest will add a hint of flavor, too.
- For even-sized muffins, using a small cookie scoop or ice cream scoop instead a spoon.
