These moist muffins are my go to when it's raspberry season! What I love about these muffins though is I can still use frozen raspberries when it's out of season, so you can enjoy this recipe year round.
If you're looking for more muffin recipes, you have to try my cinnamon swirl muffins, buttermilk blueberry muffins, vanilla muffins and bakery style chocolate chip muffins!
I absolutely love pairing up raspberries with white chocolate, it is the best combination! If you love raspberries and white chocolate together then check out my raspberry white chocolate loaf cake or my white chocolate and raspberry bundt cake.

Why you'll love this recipe!
- Bakery Style: These light and fluffy delicious raspberry muffins have a domed top, just like a bakery style muffin! I've got all the tips and tricks to help you get super tall muffin tops.
- Perfect Combination: They have the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness thanks to a combination of juicy raspberries and sweet white chocolate chips.
- No Mixer: All you need to make these raspberry white chocolate muffins are two bowls, a whisk and a spatula!
- Freezer Friendly: You can freeze these white chocolate raspberry muffins, perfect for those days when you need breakfast or a snack in a hurry!
Ingredients Needed
- Flour: I'm using all purpose flour here, I haven't tested it with gluten free flour but you could probably use all purpose gluten free 1:1 flour.
- White Chocolate Chips: you can use a chopped up white chocolate bar instead or substitute dark chocolate chips!
- Raspberries: I have tested this recipe with fresh and frozen raspberries, both work well!
- Buttermilk: if you don't have buttermilk you can use regular whole fat milk instead.
- Oil: I have tested this muffin base recipe so many times to get the perfect moist muffin! I've found using just oil and no butter makes your muffins extra soft and moist. Be sure to use a neutral oil like sunflower oil or canola oil.
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1: Whisk together all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl and set aside.
Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk the oil with the eggs, buttermilk, vanilla extract and sugar until smooth.
Step 3: Pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and use a rubber spatula to mix until just combined. You don't want to overmix it!
Step 4: Add the white chocolate chips and juicy raspberries! Gently stir to combine.
Step 5: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour. Resting the batter will help activate the baking soda and baking powder, giving you very tall muffins.
Step 6: Line a muffin pan with 6 liners (or 2 muffin pans with 11-12 liners), arranging the liners so they're placed in every other slot. This gives your muffins more space to grow! Fill the muffin liners to the very top. Bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit/220 degrees Celsius for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature (without opening the door!) to 350 degrees Fahrenheit/175 degrees Celsius and bake for another 18-20 minutes. Let the muffins cool briefly in the muffin tin then take out the warm muffins and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Expert Tips & Tricks
- Use a weighing scale - I highly recommend using a kitchen scale and measuring out your ingredients the metric way. It makes a huge difference to your baking and is the most accurate way to bake!
- Use the fluff and sprinkle method to measure your flour - if you aren't using a scale to measure ingredients then make sure you are measuring your flour correctly! Go to this link here to find out how to do that. If you use too much flour, then you won't have those delicious moist crumbs!
- Gently scoop- Once you've let the muffin batter rest for an hour, be gentle while you scoop it out into the muffin liners.
- White chocolate chips after baking - I usually recommend sprinkling over extra white chocolate chips to the muffin tops just before baking, but I do not recommend doing that here! I found while testing that the white chocolate chips were more likely to burn in the oven. If you want that bakery style look though, carefully place extra white chocolate chips on top of the muffins with raspberries right after they come out of the oven.
Recipe FAQs

Hi 👋 I’m wondering if frozen raspberries would be ok ?
Ella says
I haven't tried it but you probably can! I would stir them in really gently because I find frozen fruit breaks very easily in batters.
Kim says
How many eggs? I must of missed that part. Looks like a yummy recipe.
Thank you
Ella says
So sorry about that, for some reason it didn't come through on the US measurements! I've fixed that now, you'll need 2 eggs.
