There's nothing better than starting the day with these delicious, soft and fluffy white chocolate muffins. They are perfect for a family brunch or as a breakfast to go. They are easy to make and can be made ahead of time. By the way, have you tried my Banana Walnut Muffins yet?

FAQs

Which chocolate should I use?

I recommend high-quality white chocolate chips or bars that you would eat as a treat. I use white chocolate chunks as add-in and a piece of white chocolate bar to grate into the batter. Grate the white chocolate as you would grate parmesan.

How do I make my muffins rise higher?

Be sure to bake the muffins at 425°F (218°C) for the first 5 minutes to kickstart the baking powder and get the muffins rising quickly from the start. This initial high heat makes for perfect muffin tops. Also, don't overfill the muffin liners to avoid the batter spilling over the edges. I fill mine almost full but not all the way.

Storing and freezing instructions

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. If you want to freeze them for later, individually wrap the muffins tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe storage bag or container. Then let the muffins thaw overnight in the refrigerator or 1 hour at room temperature.

There's nothing better than starting the day with these delicious, soft and fluffy white chocolate muffins. They are perfect for a family brunch or as a breakfast to go. They are easy to make and can be made ahead of time.

Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • ¾ cup granulated white sugar
  • 3 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoon grated white chocolate
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line two 12-well muffin pans with about 12-14 paper liners and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, using a whisk, mix together the egg, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla until well combined, about 1-2 minutes. Add the flour mixture and whisk until thoroughly combined, about 1 more minute. Then fold in the grated chocolate and chocolate chips just to incorporate and set aside.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared paper liners until almost full. You will end up with about 12-14 muffins.
  • Bake at 425°F (218°C) for 5 minutes. Then, leaving the oven door closed, lower the heat to 350°F (177°C) and bake for another 11-13 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

Use a whisk rather than an electric mixer and stir at every step just until the ingredients are combined. Muffins tend to dry out, sink, or spill over if you overmix them. With mixing as little as possible, you make sure that they are super soft, moist, and rise well.

    This recipe came out perfect and so delicious! I followed it exactly. I put a teaspoon of raspberry jam inbetween two layers of dough before baking in some muffins and it was yum yum yum. Cheers for the great recipe.

    Hey, do you use self raising or normal flour? And is it caster sugar?

      Hey Hayley, I use normal all-purpose flour and regular granulated sugar. You can use caster sugar as well. Hope that helps!

      You can use 1 cup milk and replace 1 tbsp milk with 1 tbsp white vinegar or lemon juice instead of the buttermilk.

      Hi Christa, I’m sorry that you had troubles with the recipe! The only guess I have is that you had too much dry or too little wet ingredients in the batter. Always spoon and level the flour in the measuring cup or you have too much flour in the batter. Did you use large eggs? How did it turn out?

        Hey Sabine, i think I added too much dry ingredients so II ended up adding about a half cup of heavy cream to fix it and it came out soooo good. Even my picky eater husband loved it. Your recipes are awesome??. I’m trying your beignet recipe next?

        How awesome, Christa! I’m so happy that they turned out well 🙂 Thanksgiving you so much. So keep in mind to spoon and level the flour for all of my recipes. happy baking!
