Ingredients
Scale
260 g self-raising flour
130 g caster sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
50 g neutral vegetable oil
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
250 ml whole milk
250 g frozen raspberries (unthawed)
100 g white chocolate baking chips (divided: 80 g in batter, 20 g on top)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F / 160°C fan). Line a 6-cup jumbo muffin pan (or 12-cup standard pan) with baking paper squares.
Sift flour into a large bowl, stir in caster sugar, and make a well in the center.
Whisk egg, vegetable oil, vanilla, and milk together in a separate measuring jug until uniform.
Pour liquid ingredients into the well and gently fold with a large metal spoon until just partially combined.
Add frozen raspberries and 80 g white chocolate chips; fold 4–6 times until incorporated, being careful not to over-mix.
Divide batter evenly into lined tins, then scatter remaining 20 g white chocolate chips over the tops.
Bake for 35–40 minutes for jumbo tins (or 20–25 minutes for standard 12-cup tins) until golden and a skewer comes out clean.
Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
Keep Fruit Frozen: Do not thaw the raspberries; folding them while fully frozen prevents the batter from turning pink.
Don’t Over-Mix: A lumpy batter guarantees a tender, light muffin. Stop folding the moment no dry flour pockets remain.
Storage: Store at room temperature in an airtight container lined with paper towels for up to 4 days, or freeze wrapped for up to 3 months.
