This was the best muffin I’ve ever made. Thanks for such a great recipe!
Just made these
They r delicious ‘ only thing I used regular size muffin pan , only got 10 not 18 . Stirred them Maybe 6 times ,texture was perfect.
Hi Tim, glad you liked them! I guess the dimensions of the muffin tin determine how many you’ll get as well as whether you taste some of the batter beforehand! These are good as mini muffins or larger ones.
I’ve made these muffins many times and I swear the recipe changed. Several things were different from what I remember and they didn’t turn out right. They were so much better before.
Hi, I am doing some updates to recipes on the blog based on feedback that people didn’t like the cinnamon and vegetable oil. I agree, I like the other version, too. Here it is for reference:
Ingredients
3 cups all purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
2/3 cup white chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups raspberries fresh
1 Sprinkle sugar coarse, for topping
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
In a medium bowl, mix eggs and sugars until combined. Mix in milk, oil, and vanilla.
Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix
Fold in the white chocolate chips, then fold in the raspberries, being careful not to break them up too much.
Place batter into muffin liners which have been placed into a muffin tin, filling almost to the top.
Sprinkle with coarse sugar and bake for 5 minutes.
Now reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F and continue to bake for 20 to 25 minutes until tops are lightly golden. Baking time will depend on the size of your muffins.

Just came across your recipe and it was perfect as I ran out of butter! I followed everything to a T and folded the wet with the dry so carefully, but the mixture is way too dry. I tried salvaging with water but it didn’t work out. Any tips?
How many muffins should batter be seperated into?
