Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Raisins
• 0.25 cup Hot water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the raisins and hot water. Let the raisins soak for about 5 minutes to plump up before draining them and setting them aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix—a few lumps are fine.

Step 6

Fold the soaked and drained raisins into the batter until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea!
