Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Gently fold in the raspberries, shredded coconut, and white chocolate chips.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • For an extra burst of raspberry flavor, you can add a teaspoon of raspberry extract to the batter.
  • If you prefer a sweeter muffin, you can sprinkle some coarse sugar on top of each muffin before baking.
  • Feel free to substitute frozen raspberries if fresh ones are not available. Just make sure to thaw and drain them before adding them to the batter.
  • If you’re not a fan of white chocolate, you can use dark chocolate chips or even chopped nuts instead.
  • These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
