Yield: 30
Ingredients
- 1 cup raisins
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 cups highest quality unsweetened granola
- 1/4 cup sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon cinnamon for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Pour very hot water over raisins to plump and let sit for 5 minutes. Drain water and dry raisins well with a paper towel or a kitchen cloth.
- Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a big bowl.
- In another bowl, beat eggs, then blend in butter, sugar and milk real good.
- Add wet mixture to dry mixture and stir three times or until just
before batter is evenly moistened, then stop.
- Stir in granola and raisins and mix only until evenly moistened, then immediately stop. If you continue mixing, you will have tough leathery muffins.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Fill standard-size greased muffin tins three-fourths full. If you wish, sprinkle muffins with cinnamon sugar.
- Bake in preheated oven 20 to 25 minutes and check with a wooden pick often, starting at 18 minutes. Muffins should be lightly browned.
