I'm going to call these "healthy-ish" because of (a) there is only half a cup of sugar, compared to cupcakes I make that have like 2 cups, and (b) it is made with whole wheat flour. I don't know how to come up with the nutritional value. I have never tried these with regular flour, and the recipe, I must say, is pretty good, so why wreck a good thing??

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup raisins

How To Make cinnamon raisin muffins

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease 12-cup muffin pan
  • Step 2
    In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients except the raisins (brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt)
  • Step 3
    In another bowl, combine the melted butter with the milk, egg and vanilla until well mixed.
  • Step 4
    Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until moist. Then fold in the raisins.
  • Step 5
    Place the batter into the muffin pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until toothpick test comes out clean.*
  • Step 6
    ***NOTE*** I do not own big muffin pans, like the ones that make those big muffins in resturaunts. Ergo, I guess I'm technically using "cupcake" pans. Real muffin pans I'm sure will take longer than 10 minutes to bake, and possibly you may not get a full 12, but I haven't been able to try that yet. Enjoy! <3
