My raspberry white chocolate muffins are perfect for your Galentine's Day festivities, to share with your special valentine, or just to treat yourself. Perfectly sweet and tart, easy to make, and ready in 40 minutes!
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 yogurt or 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.
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.
My muffin tin cups are standard size and I get 15 muffins out of this recipe every time. If you have a jumbo muffin cups you may get less, maybe 12.
I've tested the recipe with both light sour cream and lowfat greek yogurt. I think the yogurt is my favorite but you can use either. Full fat sour cream or yogurt would certainly increase the decadence so use these if you'd like!
If you don't like white chocolate, try with dark chocolate chips!
