Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt.
Stir in the raisins so they are evenly coated with the dry ingredients. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the sour cream, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; stir just until no dry streaks remain.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 of the way 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 allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy these delightfully spiced sour cream raisin muffins!
