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

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 large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt.

Step 3

Stir in the raisins so they are evenly coated with the dry ingredients. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking.

Step 4

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the sour cream, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 of the way full.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy these delightfully spiced sour cream raisin muffins!
