Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cups Raisins
- 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper (optional for extra spice)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Gently fold the raisins into the batter until evenly distributed.
Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 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 tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Spicy Cinnamon Raisin Muffins with a cup of tea or coffee!
