Instructions
Set your oven to 400°F and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing each cup with nonstick spray.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate large bowl, whisk the oil, sugar, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, gently stirring just until the batter comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light and tender.
Carefully fold in the raspberries and white chocolate, being gentle to avoid breaking up the berries.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup nearly to the top. If desired, sprinkle with coarse sugar for a crunchy topping.
Bake at 400°F for 5 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking for another 13–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional Raspberry Glaze:Whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar with 1–2 tablespoons milk or cream and 2–3 mashed raspberries until smooth. Strain for a seedless glaze, if desired. Drizzle over cooled muffins and let set.
Notes
Toss raspberries with a tablespoon of flour before folding in to help prevent sinking.
Don’t overmix the batter. Mix just until combined for tender muffins.
If using frozen raspberries, add them straight from the freezer without thawing.
Use a cookie scoop or ice cream scoop to divide batter evenly.
