Raspberry White Chocolate Muffins

Preheat the oven to 400 F. Prepare muffin tins with muffin liners or lightly grease the pan.

In a small bowl, mix together your dry ingredients - 3 cups all purpose flour (360g), 1 tbsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1/2 tsp salt.

In a large bowl, mix together the wet ingredients - 1 cup of low-fat Greek yogurt or light sour cream, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup oil, 4 tsp vanilla extract, 1/4 cup milk, 3/4 cup sugar, and zest of 1 lemon. Whisk well until smooth. Note that room temperature ingredients will mix together the best.

Add your dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix with a spatula until only partially combined. There should still be visible flour throughout.

Add in almost all of the 3/4 cup white chocolate chips, setting aside some for the topping. Mix a few times, but there should still be flour visible.

Next, add in your 2 cups (10 oz) frozen raspberries. Keep these in the freezer until right when you add them in. Mix very gently until evenly distributed. The batter will be very thick. Try to be gentle to avoid breaking them up. It’s okay to still have some visible spots with flour.

Scoop batter evenly into prepared muffin cups. Bake for 5 minutes at 400 F. Turn down the oven to 350 F and bake an additional 15-20 mins. The tops should be golden and a toothpick should come out clean.

Enjoy! These muffins keep best in the fridge for 5-6 days. Reheat slightly in the microwave or toaster oven if desired.

🎃 It’s pumpkin season!! I had to create a pumpkin bread recipe that is super delicious, but with a healthy spin!

My recipe uses less butter, less sugar, and replaces regular all purpose flour with whole wheat and oat flours. This adds extra fiber - my favorite nutrient to talk about these days. Pumpkin adds some amazing nutrition as well, but you’ll have to read the post to find out more!

Link is in my bio and on tiktok!! Try it out!
