How to make raspberry and white chocolate muffins?
- In a jug or small bowl, combine buttermilk, vegetable oil, melted butter, vanilla extract and an egg (lightly beaten).
- Give it all a stir to combine (it will look a bit curdled - that's normal) and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine flour and raw caster and whisk to combine.
- Gently fold in the raspberries and white chocolate.
- Combine the wet ingredients and the dry ingredients and fold gently to incorporate - don't overmix!
- Line a 12-hole muffin pan with muffin liners then spoon the muffin batter evenly between each hole and bake.
Top tips for the best result
- Mixing this batter as little as possible is really important. The more mixing the less tenderness your muffins will have. Use as few strokes as you can and try to make each one count by scraping right along the base of the bowl using a silicone or rubber spatula.
- If you use frozen raspberries, don't thaw them first or they will bleed into the batter. Everything will still taste great but the muffins will come out with a more pink colour to the crumb.
- Make your own buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or fresh lemon juice to 1 cup (250ml) of whole milk, then leave for 5-10 minutes at room temperature until it looks slightly thickened and curdled.
- Make your own self-raising flour - for every cup (150g) of all purpose flour (plain flour) add 2 teaspoon baking powder and sift together well.
Variations and substitutions
- Once they are cooled, drizzle cream cheese glaze over these white chocolate raspberry muffins - so delicious!
- No white chocolate chips? Substitute chopped white chocolate.
- White chocolate chips are my favourite for these muffins, but raspberries also pair well with milk chocolate too if you wanted to substitute them.
- Sprinkle a streusel topping over each individual muffin before they are baked.
Storage
These muffins will keep for up to 5 days in an airtight container at room temperature.
They are suitable to freeze.

Notes
- If you are going to use frozen raspberries for this recipe, don't thaw them first. They will bleed into your batter - same taste but not quite as pretty. Just make sure they don't have any frost on them.
- Substitute 375g of self-raising flour with 375g of plain (all purpose) flour then add 5 teaspoons of baking powder and sift to combine well.
- Buttermilk substitute - add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or fresh lemon juice to 1 cup (250ml) of whole milk, then leave for 5-10 minutes at room temperature until the mixture looks slightly thickened and curdled. This link has more options.
- The more you mix the batter the tougher and more rubbery the muffins will turn out. Use as few strokes as possible and try to make each one count by scraping right along the base of the bowl with a spatula.
