Apple and raisin muffins are a delightful breakfast treat or snack that combines the sweetness of apples and raisins with the warm spice of cinnamon. These muffins are moist, flavorful, and quick to prepare, making them perfect for busy mornings or as a special addition to your weekend brunch.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a muffin tray by lining it with paper muffin cases or greasing it lightly with oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of self-raising flour, 2/3 cup of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Stir the ingredients together until evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of buttermilk, 2 eggs, and 1/3 cup of olive oil until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. The batter should still be somewhat lumpy; over-mixing can cause the muffins to become dense.
Fold in the chopped apple and 1/2 cup of raisins into the batter. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tray, filling each case about two-thirds full.
Place the muffin tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tray for a few minutes. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your freshly baked apple and raisin muffins warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to achieve a smooth batter.
- Dice the apple into small, uniform pieces for even distribution throughout the muffins.
- If you prefer a sweeter muffin, you can use a sweeter apple variety like Fuji or Honeycrisp.
- For added flavor, soak the raisins in warm water or apple juice for 10-15 minutes before adding them to the batter.
- Do not overmix the batter; mix until just combined to avoid dense muffins.
- You can add a streusel topping made from oats, brown sugar, and butter for extra texture and sweetness.
- Use muffin liners or grease the muffin tin well to prevent sticking.
With their delightful combination of apples, raisins, and a hint of cinnamon, these apple and raisin muffins are sure to become a favorite in your household.
