Raspberry and White Chocolate Muffins (that kids can cook!)

This recipe is so easy the younger kids (7 & 5) can do pretty much all of it without my help now. These Raspberry and White Chocolate Muffins taste divine and a great sweet treat to whip up when you need something in a hurry as they are quick to make.

The ingredients for this recipe are the type that you usually always have on hand. If we don’t have frozen raspberries, I will often just make plain white choc chip muffins which are still very delicious!

Raspberry and White Chocolate Muffins Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups self raising flour
  • ¾ cup caster sugar (you can get away with only using 1/2 cup sugar)
  • ¾ cup milk
  • ½ cup canola oil (I no longer like to use canola oil so use 1/2 cup melted butter, which is approx 125 grams butter.)
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup white choc chips
  • 1 cup frozen raspberries

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 180 degrees.

Place patty pans in muffin trays.

Cooking time depends on the size and oven, but 12 -15 minutes is about average for the standard patty pan size. Edit: Muffins will be ready if you push a skewer into the middle of the muffin and it comes out clean. This recipe made 12 large and 12 small muffins.

Want to make the lunch box process easier?

In my online course called Meal Prep PrimerI show how you can easily make some easy item for the kids’ lunch boxes that will help make the lunch box process so much easier! Meal Prep Primer shows you how to effectively plan your time in the kitchen over the weekend, and prep food that will make your week days easier.

To keep on top of feeding the family, many years ago I started spending some time on the weekend, prepping food for the week ahead. Even if it is was just one or two things for the kids’ lunch boxes, the difference this made during the week was huge.

As I was rewarded each week for my efforts in the kitchen on the weekend, I began increasing the food I prepped. And the more weekly meal prep sessions I did, the better I became at it. The better I became at it, the less time it took me to do the sessions and the better we ate – win-win all around!

In my Meal Prep Primer course I will teach you the process I have developed over these years. The course will:

  • save you time
  • save you money
  • save you stress through the week days
  • ensure your family eats well
  • allow you to enjoy meal time more with the family

For three weeks you will receive:

  • A plan –  the plan outlines what you will be cooking and when. You can tailor this plan to suit your family’s needs and the time you have available. The plan also has clickable links to all the recipes you need to cook for the weekend.
  • A shopping list –  as you may tailor the plan to suit your family’s needs, the shopping list is broken down into items per recipe. That way you can easily cross off items you don’t need to buy, but make sure you have all the ingredients for the recipes you do intend to cook.
  • The recipes – a PDF of all the recipes you will need to cook for the week.
  • Plus there is a detailed video and other resources on the course website and further support emails to keep the habit going after three weeks.
