Toss fresh raspberries in a bit of flour and freeze them for 30 minutes before folding into batter to prevent them from sinking and bleeding color throughout the muffins.

Drain your ricotta cheese for 15 minutes in a fine-mesh strainer before using to remove excess whey, ensuring perfectly moist muffins without a soggy crumb structure.

Chop larger white chocolate chunks instead of using small chips—they'll melt slightly during baking to create luxurious pockets of flavor rather than staying firm throughout.

The olive oil in this recipe creates a tender, cake-like crumb; don't substitute with melted butter as it will make the muffins too dense and heavy.

Bring eggs, ricotta, and milk to room temperature before mixing to ensure proper emulsification and a smooth batter that bakes evenly with no lumpy streaks.
