Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 0.5 cups Raisins
- 0.5 cups Chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well with baking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the raisins and chopped pecans, if using.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
