04 - Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just incorporated, ensuring you do not overmix the batter.
05 - Gently fold white chocolate chips into the batter until evenly distributed.
06 - Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup approximately three-quarters full.
07 - Transfer the tin to the oven and bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin emerges clean.
08 - Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then move them onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
