Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cups Rolled oats
• 1.25 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 0.75 cups Milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 0.5 cups Honey
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Raisins

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg until lightly beaten. Then, add the milk, honey, melted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing well to combine.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently stir the batter until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

Fold the raisins into the batter, distributing them evenly.

Step 6

Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
