Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup molasses (the secret sauce for deliciousness!)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup raisins (or as many as you like – no judgment here!)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with liners or grease it up like a slippery slide.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. These spices will make your kitchen smell like heaven!
- In another bowl, mix the brown sugar, molasses, vegetable oil, and egg until well combined. It should be a sticky, gooey masterpiece!
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones, and stir just until moistened. Don’t overmix unless you want to wrestle with your dough—let’s keep it gentle!
- Add in the raisins, giving them a good fold in. They’re like little sweet surprises waiting to pop up in every bite!
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling them about 2/3 full. Because who wants tiny muffins? Nobody!
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. While you wait, contemplate why muffins sometimes taste better than cupcakes (we may never know!).
- Once done, let them cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Or eat them warm because, let’s be honest, who can wait?!
And voila! Perfectly delightful Molasses Raisin Muffins that will brighten your day. Enjoy them as breakfast or a snack, or whenever you need a little extra cheer in your life!
