Equipment

1 Oven

Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
2½ tsp baking powder
¾ cup raisins
½ tsp cinnamon powder
¾ cup sugar
⅓ cup vegetable oil
½ tsp salt
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla essence
¾ cup milk

Instructions

Step 1: Preparation

Soak the raisins in hot water for 15 minutes. Soaking the raisins makes them tender and plumper.
Preheat oven to 350°F and grease or line the muffin cups

Step 2: Mix dry ingredients

Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon powder and sugar. Mix with a whisk to combine then set aside.

Step 3: Mix wet ingredients

In a separate bowl, mix together vegetable oil or melted butter , sugar, eggs, and milk. Mix well to blend.

Step 4: Mix both mixtures

Pour the flour mixture into wet ingredients and fold together until well blended.

Step 5: Fold in Raisins

Add the soaked raisins to the batter and fold in gently without over mixing.

Step 6: Bake

Scoop the batter and divide among the lined muffin cups filling up to 3/4 of the cups; leaving space for the muffins to rise.
Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted at the middle of the muffins comes out clean.

Step 7: Cool and serve

Remove from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool further.
Serve with tea or coffee, as a snack, or dessert.
