Description

These cinnamon raisin muffins are the ultimate comfort breakfast, offering a perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavors. The batter combines all-purpose flour with farina for a tender, slightly grainy texture that holds up well to moist raisins. A warm spice blend of cinnamon and vanilla infuses every bite with cozy warmth. The secret lies in the finishing touch: brushing the warm muffins with fruit juice and rolling them in sugar creates a delightful, crackling crust that contrasts beautifully with the soft interior. Ideal for weekend brunches, school lunches, or a quick morning treat, these muffins pair wonderfully with coffee or tea. Simple to mix and bake, they bring a homemade charm to your kitchen that family and friends will love.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC) and grease 12 muffin cups with margarine or cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, farina, 1/4 cup of sugar, baking powder, and ground cinnamon.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk, beaten egg, melted margarine, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the raisins until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  9. Remove the muffins from the pan and immediately brush the tops with fruit juice.
  10. Roll the warm, juice-brushed muffins in the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar to coat the tops.
  11. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
