Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup raisins
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 2 teaspoons cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (do not overmix). Fold in raisins.
- Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the muffin tops.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Tips
- To prevent raisins from sinking, toss them with a tablespoon of flour before adding to the batter.
- Muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For extra moisture, substitute half the buttermilk with sour cream.
