Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or chunks
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons grated white chocolate
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 425°F and arrange paper liners in a muffin tin.
- Combine all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, ensuring even distribution of flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Whisk together wet ingredients in a separate container, blending egg, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla until smooth and uniform.
- Gently fold wet mixture into dry ingredients, stirring minimally to prevent overmixing and maintain a light texture.
- Incorporate grated white chocolate and white chocolate chips into the batter, distributing evenly throughout.
- Carefully fill muffin liners with batter, avoiding overfilling.
- Initiate baking at 425°F for 5 minutes to create initial rise, then reduce temperature to 350°F and continue baking for 11-13 minutes.
- Remove from oven and allow muffins to rest in the tin for 15 minutes, allowing them to set and cool slightly.
- Serve warm or at room temperature for optimal flavor and texture.
Notes
- Adjust oven temperature for even baking by starting high then lowering, which creates perfect golden-brown muffin tops with a crispy exterior.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth batter and consistent mixing, preventing lumps and creating a more tender texture.
- Grate white chocolate fresh for intense flavor and melt-in-your-mouth chocolate pockets throughout the muffins.
- Substitute buttermilk with Greek yogurt or regular milk mixed with lemon juice for dietary flexibility and similar tangy richness.
