Raisin-Carrot Muffins

Raisin-Carrot Muffins Ingredients

2/3 cup golden raisins or dried currants	1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup boiling water	1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Nonstick cooking spray	1 egg
1/2 cup All-purpose flour	1/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup whole wheat flour	1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup toasted wheat germ	1/4 cup cooking oil
1/2 teaspoon baking powder	1 cup finely shredded carrot
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions for Raisin-Carrot Muffins

1. Preheat oven to 400 degree F. In a small bowl, combine raisins and boiling water; set aside. Coat sixteen 2-1/2-inch muffin cups with cooking spray or line with paper bake cups; set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, stir together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, wheat germ, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and the 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Make a well in the center.
3. In a small bowl, beat egg slightly; stir in buttermilk, brown sugar or substitute, and oil. Add all at once to flour mixture; stir just until moistened (the batter should be lumpy). Drain raisins. Gently fold raisins and carrot into batter.
4. Spoon batter evenly into prepared muffin cups, filling each cup two-thirds full. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon.
5. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden. Cool in muffin cups on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove from cups. Serve warm. Makes 16 muffins.
