Ingredients:
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour, 2 Tablespoons set aside
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1/3 cup Olive Oil
- 1 cup Ricotta Cheese
- 2 Eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

- 1 1/2 cups Raspberries
Directions:
Preheat oven temperature to 400F.
Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
In a small bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside 2 tablespoons of flour in a separate bowl.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the oil, white sugar and ricotta cheese until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat until combined.
Stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until combined and no dry streaks remain, then stir in the milk until completely incorporated.
Stir in the white chocolate chips, to personal taste using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.
Toss the raspberries in the 2 Tablespoons reserved flour to coat completely, then gently fold into the muffin batter.
Portion out the muffin batter into the prepared muffin liners.
Bake your raspberry white chocolate muffins in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes until they’re golden brown on top and an inserted toothpick comes out clean from the center of a muffin.
Cool warm muffins on a wire rack.
Tips for Best Results When Making Bakery-Style Muffins
- To make the perfect muffin, use a light touch when mixing the batter for a tender muffin. Overmixing can lead to tough, dry muffins.
- Fill the muffin cups only two-thirds full. This will help them rise nicely, prevent them from becoming too dense and will ensure even baking and perfectly formed muffin tops.
- The muffins rise as they cook, so you do not want to reach the top of the muffin liner.
How to Store Your Muffins
Let the muffins cool completely, then store them in a sealed airtight container or plastic bag. You can keep it at room temperature for 3 days. You can freeze the muffins in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Let them defrost on the counter at room temperature.
When it comes to baking, raspberry is one of those flavors that people either love or hate. If you’re not a fan of the fresh raspberry in these easy raspberry muffins then feel free to substitute another fruit in its place.
Fresh berries such as blueberry or blackberry would be good substitutes. You could even get creative and try a combination of fresh fruit to make berry and white chocolate muffins.
Ricotta adds a wonderfully delicate and creamy texture to these muffins. It also helps keep them moist and fluffy for days. Plus, it pairs perfectly with the succulent raspberries and creamy white chocolate.
Ricotta cheese is a great way to add moistness and richness to muffins, without using too much oil or butter. You can substitute ricotta with cottage cheese or sour cream.
