NOTES ADDITIONAL
It is best to melt the butter first, then set it aside while preparing the rest of your ingredients. Allow the butter to cool down before mixing it into the batter.
White chocolate chips These can be added to the dry ingredients. This allows you to avoid stirring them in at the end of over-mixing your batter.
Eggs, milk, and Greek yogurt must be at room temperature before adding them to your bowl. This allows them to blend seamlessly and create a smooth muffin batter.
Raspberries You can use fresh or frozen raspberries in this recipe. Fresh raspberries are in season, so I used them! Frozen raspberries can be used in the batter, but they should not be thawed before you add them to it.

TIPS FOR THE BEST WHITE CHOCOLATE AND RASPBERRY MUFFINS
- I suggest using paper muffin cases rather than greasing the muffin tray. They have fruit and chocolate that can stick to the tray.
- Bake the muffins for 5 minutes at 220°C (428°F). This allows them to rise quicker, creating taller muffins.
- Allow the butter to cool down before you measure and gather the rest of the ingredients.
- Let the milk, eggs and yogurt cool down before you add them to the recipe. After that, measure each quantity and set them aside on your kitchen bench for at least 30 minutes.
- Adding white chocolate chips to the dry mixture is a great option to adding them at the end. This can lead to dense muffins.
- Fresh or frozen raspberries can be used in these muffins. I prefer to use fresh.
- Keep dry in an airtight container at room temperature for three to four days in a dark, dry pantry.
- Place in an airtight box or wrap each one in plastic wrap. Then freeze for up to three months.
- Thaw at ambient temperature overnight. Warm-up in a microwave or low oven before you serve.
