Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups (180 g) white whole wheat flour or regular all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (45 g) vanilla whey or whey-casein blend protein powder (not plant-based for this version)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup (120 g) plain or vanilla Greek yogurt, 2% preferred
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk of choice (dairy or unsweetened almond)
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) light olive oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup (70 g) light brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (100 g) fresh raspberries, halved if large (frozen works—see notes)
  • 1/2 cup (90 g) white chocolate chips or chunks
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon lemon zest for a citrusy lift

Method
 

  1. Preheat and prep: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease each well.
  2. Whisk dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. This helps prevent clumps and ensures an even rise.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, milk, oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. If using lemon zest, add it here.
  4. Combine gently: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until just combined. The batter should be thick but scoopable. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in the goodies: Gently fold in raspberries and white chocolate. If using frozen raspberries, add them straight from the freezer to reduce bleeding.
  6. Portion the batter: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle a few extra white chocolate chips on top if you like.
  7. Bake: Bake for 16–20 minutes, or until the tops spring back and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
  8. Cool: Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents soggy bottoms.
  9. Enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature. The flavors settle and improve slightly after a few hours.
