Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, stir together the pumpkin puree, applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, or the muffins may become dense.
Fold in the raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 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. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
