Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper liners or grease well with butter or non-stick spray.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, mix together the self-raising flour and sugar until well combined.

4. Prepare Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg. Add the vegetable oil and buttermilk, mixing until fully combined.
5. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—it's okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
6. Fold in Raspberries:
- Gently fold in the raspberries, being careful not to crush them too much.
7. Fill the Muffin Tins:
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
8. Bake:
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the muffins are golden brown on top.
9. Cool:
- Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve:
- Enjoy your macadamia, white chocolate, and raspberry muffins warm or at room temperature. These muffins are perfect for breakfast, a snack, or dessert!

Tips:

- Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing and even baking.

- Gently fold the raspberries into the batter to prevent them from breaking apart and bleeding too much color.

- Use fresh or frozen raspberries, but if using frozen, do not thaw them before adding to the batter.

- Toast the macadamias lightly to enhance their flavor before adding them to the muffin mix.

- Use a scoop to evenly distribute the batter into muffin cups for uniform-sized muffins.

- Check muffins for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs, they are ready.
