Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Ground flaxseed
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Raisins
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and raisins, coating the raisins lightly to prevent clumping.

Step 4

Stir the sugared raisins into the dry ingredients to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.

Step 5

In another medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.

Step 6

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together with a spatula or wooden spoon until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing, as this can result in dense muffins.

Step 7

Spoon the batter evenly 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 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 pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.

Step 10

Enjoy these muffins warm or at room temperature, and store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
