Raisin Muffins



A breakfast treat one Monday morning. I have been looking for the dark brown muffin paper cases but the shops close to our area do not have them! The closest thing were these pink ones (and there was another which had hearts in it!). It was a good thing that they faded a bit after baking... I'm not a huge fan of the color pink!

Anyway, this is one of the easiest muffin recipes :

1 1/2 cups wholemeal flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
3 tsps baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 cup quick oats
1 cup raisins
2/3 cup milk (or more if the mixture is too thick)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs

Pre-heat oven to 200C. Prepare muffin tins and cases (if using).

In a bowl, mix dry ingredients. In a separate bowl or jug, whisk wet ingredients together. Combine wet and dry, and mix only until the dry ingredients are just moistened (do not overmix, this leads to tough muffins!). Spoon on to muffin tins or cases until 2/3 full. Bake for around 20 minutes (you can tell that they're done by that beautiful smell!) or until tops are golden.

It is best served warm... or just warm it in the microwave (a quick 40 second blast should do the trick!)
