Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin top pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Pro tip: Ensure even heating by placing the rack in the middle of the oven.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Pro tip: Sift the dry ingredients for a finer texture.

Cream Butter and Sugar

In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Pro tip: Use a hand mixer for best results.

Add Egg and Vanilla

Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Pro tip: Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.

Incorporate Yogurt

Mix in the yogurt until smooth. The mixture may look a bit curdled, but it will smooth out once the dry ingredients are added.

Pro tip: Room temperature yogurt mixes more smoothly.

Combine All Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the raspberries and white chocolate chips.

Pro tip: Avoid overmixing to keep the muffin tops tender.

Scoop the Batter

Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin top pan.

Pro tip: Leave some space for the batter to spread.

Bake

Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.

Pro tip: Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even browning.

Cool

Allow the muffin tops to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Pro tip: Cooling on a wire rack prevents soggy bottoms.
