Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour.
  • 1½ teaspoon baking powder. Leavening agent. Baking powder helps the muffins to rise.
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda. Leavening agent that works with the buttermilk.
  • ¼ teaspoon salt. Enhances flavor.
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar. Adds sweetness. You can substitute granular Swerve sweetener for a sugar-free version.
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter. Melted and cooled.
  • 1 cup buttermilk. If you don’t have buttermilk you can substitute: 1 cup regular milk plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar.
  • 1 large egg. This is a binding agent. It helps to hold everything together. To make an eggless version of this recipe, substitute 1/4 cup of plain Greek yogurt for the egg like we have done in this recipe for eggless blueberry muffins. So delicious!
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Or vanilla paste. Added for flavor. You can also use almond extract instead.
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips.
  • 1½ cup raspberries. You can substitute an equal amount of frozen raspberries. Do not thaw first.

    Storage

    • Room Temperature. If you plan to eat the muffins within 1-2 days, you can store them at room temperature. Place them in an airtight container or sealable plastic bag to prevent them from drying out. They should stay fresh at room temperature for a couple of days.
    • Refrigeration. If you need to store the muffins for a longer period, or if your kitchen tends to be warm and humid, it’s best to store them in the refrigerator. Again, place them in an airtight container or sealable bag to maintain freshness. Refrigerated muffins can stay good for up to 3-4 days.
    • Freezing. If you want to store the muffins for an extended period, freezing is your best option. Make sure the muffins have cooled completely before freezing to prevent condensation and freezer burn. Then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Frozen muffins can last for up to 2-3 months.
    • Reheating. If you prefer your muffins warm, you can reheat them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or in a preheated oven at 300 F (150 C) for 5-10 minutes until heated through. This will restore their moisture and revive their flavor.
