Muffin Ingredients
Just seven basic ingredients are needed to make these bakery-style fresh and sweet raspberry muffins with rich white chocolate.
Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients, quantities and full detailed method.
- Vegetable oil - Keeps the muffins super moist without needing to soften butter.
- White chocolate - I recommend using a block and chopping it for chunkier bits (rather than using chips).
- Raspberries - Frozen raspberries work best in this recipe-no need to defrost them first!
Variations
- Gluten-free option - Swap plain flour for a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend like I use in my gluten-free lemon drizzle cake.
- Lemon twist - Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to brighten up the flavour.
- Berry swap - Use blueberries or chopped strawberries like in my strawberry banana yoghurt muffins for a fruity change.
- Dark chocolate - Replace white chocolate with dark chocolate for a rich, more grown-up twist.
How To Make Raspberry And White Chocolate Muffins
This quick and easy recipe will have you enjoying these fluffy muffins in no time (the prep time is just 5 minutes!)
Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients, quantities and full detailed method.
- Step 1: Sift the self-raising flour into a large mixing bowl. Add the caster sugar and stir to combine.
Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg, then whisk in the vegetable oil and milk until smooth.
- Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients. Gently fold everything together-don't overmix! The batter should still be a little lumpy.
- Step 4: Add the raspberries and white chocolate, folding them through carefully. Use a light hand here to avoid breaking up the raspberries.
- Step 5: Spoon the batter into your prepared muffin cases, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the tops are lightly golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Recipe Tips
- Don't overmix - Like with my double choc chip muffins, overmixing can make muffins dense. Just fold until combined.
- Use frozen raspberries - They hold their shape and don't bleed into the batter.
- Top with extras - A few extra white choc chunks and raspberries on top make them look bakery-perfect!
- Cool in the tray first - Let them sit for 5 mins before transferring to a wire rack to prevent sinking.
- Storage - Store in an airtight container at room temp for 3 days.
- Freezing - Wrap muffins individually and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temp or microwave for 20-30 seconds.
Raspberry And White Chocolate Muffins FAQs
Yes, but they're softer and can break down more easily. Frozen berries work best for keeping their shape and avoiding pink-streaked batter.
Yes! A good quality gluten-free flour works well in this recipe.
Definitely. Pour into a lined loaf tin and bake for 40-45 minutes. Keep an eye on the top and cover with foil if it's browning too quickly.
Most likely they were overbaked. Check them at the 15-minute mark-if a skewer comes out with a few moist crumbs, they're done!

Angie Smart says
I made these for my coworkers for morning tea, and they were a total hit! Super delicious! Will definitely be making again.
Lucy says
That's fantastic!
Lottie says
If i over mix it a little is it still good? And how long to cook for mini muffins?
Lucy says
Hi Lottie, they just wont be as soft and fluffy! I'd say 12 mins and see how they're going!
Steph says
This recipe was awesome: so fast, so easy to make with minimum washing up afterwards. I used 30g less sugar and only had half the chocolate but it tasted light and fluffy and delicious. What I don't understand is that my cooked muffins looked pale instead of golden as per photo??
Lucy says
That's so great to hear Steph! The colour will be determined by your individual oven and the position you place the tray inside. If the heat comes from the top, then place them on the top shelf. Also, rotate your trays partway through cooking. xx
trang says
hi
How long should I cook them if I use a large 6 muffin tin?
Lucy says
Hi there, it will really depend on your oven and the best way to know that they're cooked is to test by inserting a skewer into the centre. I would say at least 30 minutes (and you may need to cover them partway through cooking with a sheet of foil loosely over the top to prevent over-browning.
mandy says
Mine have just gone in the oven yum yum.. wondering whether to do a butter icin on top or do you think it might be too much..?
Lucy says
Hi Mandy, these muffins really don't need anything icing at all! But occasionally I do a cream cheese frosting!
