Raspberry season is upon us with a plethera of delicious berries to do with as we wish.
And I wish for Raspberry White Chocolate muffins. Seriously. I have been waiting all year for raspberry season just so I could make them.
These muffins are definitely one of those muffins. The kind of muffins that feel like dessert for breakfast…and well….it kind of is. But there’s fruit, so it’s totally legit.
Raspberry and white chocolate are such a classic combination. The juicy raspberries burst in your mouth and the white chocolate chips provide a nice texture. The cream cheese gives the batter a sticky consistency, resulting in beautiful, rustic-looking muffins. Enjoy!
