Raisin muffin in a hurry

Raisin muffin in a hurry

This simple recipe requires just a big mixing bowl to prepare. They were so easy to prepare I kept checking to make sure I did everything right. It received rave reviews and I can understand why; crunchy tops, moist and closed texture makes it possible to even eat it with a spoon. It is definitely the kind of quick bake when you wish to do something simple and yet lovely to eat.

Makes 3 big muffins

In a mixing bowl, combine:

100g plain flour

50g fine sugar

1 tsp baking powder, sieved

¼ tsp sea salt

¼ tsp cinnamon 

Set aside:

50g raisins, soaked in boiling water for 10 minutes and drained

In a jug, combine:

40g butter, melted and cooled

100g milk

½ tp vanilla extract

1 egg, lightly beaten, room temperature

Method:

Preheat the oven to 200C, low rack in the middle.

Prepare 3 muffin pans.

Combine thoroughly dry ingredients, sans raisins.

Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients.

Pour in the egg mixture.

Stir and combine until everything comes together.

Fold in raisins

I added a handful of chocolate nibs (70% cocoa butter) onto each muffin for extra oomph.

Spoon the batter to the 3 prepared muffin pans.

Bake in the preheated oven at 200C for 20 minutes and until top is tan and skewer comes out clean.

Cool.
