Bakery-Style Raspberry White Chocolate Chip Muffins With Greek Yogurt
Every summer there comes a day when the raspberry bushes suddenly decide they’re finished waiting. One morning there are just a handful of berries…and the next, the bowl is overflowing.
That’s exactly what happened here this week.
After gathering a bowl of sun-ripened raspberries from the garden, I knew they deserved something a little more special than eating them by the handful (although plenty disappeared that way, too!).
These Raspberry White Chocolate Chip Muffins are incredibly soft thanks to Greek yogurt, bursting with juicy berries, and perfectly balanced with creamy white chocolate chips. They’re the kind of muffins that disappear almost as quickly as they’re baked.

Ingredient Spotlight:
Fresh Raspberries
Fresh raspberries give these muffins little pockets of juicy sweetness in every bite. If using frozen raspberries, don’t thaw them first or they’ll bleed into the batter.
Greek Yogurt
If you’ve never baked muffins with Greek yogurt before, you’re in for a treat. It creates an incredibly tender crumb while adding richness without making the muffins heavy.
White Chocolate Chips
The creamy sweetness perfectly balances the tart raspberries.
Step-by-Step
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
Try not to overmix.
Mix the Wet Ingredients
Fold in the Raspberries
Tip: Gently fold the berries in just until combined to keep them from breaking apart.
Fill the Muffin Cups
They should be about ¾ full.
Bake Until Golden
Enjoy!
There is something especially satisfying about baking with ingredients you’ve picked just minutes before stepping into the kitchen. Every bite of these muffins reminds me why I planted those raspberry bushes in the first place.
Whether you’re enjoying one with your morning coffee, packing them for a picnic, or freezing a few for later, I hope these become one of those recipes you come back to every raspberry season.

Bakery-Style Raspberry White Chocolate Chip Muffins
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat oven to 425℉
- Place a cupcake liner in each cell of your muffin pan.
- In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the melted cooled butter, sugar, eggs, Greek yogurt and vanilla. Stir to combine.
- Fold in the dry ingredients.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips
- Fold in the raspberries. (I do this last so they don't fall apart and get over mixed)
- Divide the muffin mixture evenly over the 12 liners in your tray. Mine were about 105-110g of batter per cup. The cups will be pretty full – this is normal.
- Bake at 425℉ for the first 5 minutes, then turn the oven down to 350℉ and finish baking for 19-22 minutes. When done, the tops should be golden brown and spring back a little when pressed gently in the center.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Gently remove from pan and let cool.
Notes
Variations

- Sprinkle coarse sugar before baking

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen raspberries?
Yes! Add them frozen and gently fold them into the batter.
Can I substitute sour cream for Greek yogurt?
Yes. Sour cream works beautifully.
Why are my muffins dense?
Usually from overmixing. Stir only until the flour disappears.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely! These muffins stay moist for several days and also freeze beautifully.
Around here, raspberry season never lasts quite long enough. We snack on handfuls straight from the garden, freeze as many as we can, and save a few bowls for baking days like this. These muffins have quickly become one of those recipes everyone hopes I'll make while the bushes are still producing.
