Raspberry White Chocolate Morning Muffins

Have you ever filled chocolate chips in raspberries and had that as a little light snack? I have! And let me tell you, I forgot how yummy the combination is!

Me being such a lover all things bread, pastries and desserts. I have to have my little panecito "bread" after my breakfast or just as a side with my coffee. Yes, I'll make my healthier alternative swaps, like wheat toast with pb or a gluten free Vans waffle. Some days, I'll live on the wild side and yes, I'll have my blueberry muffin or banana bread and no, I'm not talking about the low calorie one. I'll enjoy myself every once in a while and I'll do it for this muffin right here.

The sweet, fluffy, buttery bite of the muffin is such a perfect canvas for the tartness of the raspberry with the sweetness of the white chocolate chips. This on the side with your coffee and breakfast will surely brighten your day.
