Ingredients in Raspberry and White Chocolate Muffins
You’ll need the following ingredients to make these reduced-sugar raspberry muffins:
Raspberries – This recipe uses fresh raspberries. I think fresh berries tend to be sweeter and more flavourful, but you could substitute for frozen. Halve them to help with distribution through the muffin batter.
White chocolate chips – Use white baking chips as opposed to melts, so that they hold their shape when baked.
Butter – Unsalted.
Egg – To bind the muffins.
Milk – I use full-cream/whole milk, but if you try this recipe with your preferred variety then please let me know how it goes!
Wholemeal/whole wheat flour – I use wholemeal/whole wheat flour, because where possible I like to use the least processed ingredient. If you substitute with plain/all-purpose flour the rise and texture of the muffin may change, so I don’t recommend it.
Baking powder – The raising agent. Not to be confused with baking soda!
Brown sugar – Brown sugar adds sweetness and depth of flavour to muffins. Try not to substitute with white/caster sugar. Although not a lot is used in this recipe, brown sugar produces more moist muffins.

Serving
Serve these raspberry white chocolate muffins warm or at room temperature. They can be enjoyed on their own, or for extra indulgence, spread some raspberry jam on top.
Storing and freezing
For storing leftover muffins, allow them to cool completely to prevent condensation and sogginess. Place them in an airtight container or wrap them individually in plastic wrap, and eat them within 1-2 days if stored at room temperature. They should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
You can also refrigerate them, individually wrapped in an airtight container for 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
