1/2 cup golden raisin

Tips:

  • Ensure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking the muffins. This helps them rise evenly and prevents them from becoming dense.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
  • Use ripe bananas for the banana muffins. Ripe bananas add sweetness and moisture to the muffins.
  • For the carrot cake muffins, use finely grated carrots. This will help them blend into the batter evenly.
  • Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will prevent them from overflowing during baking.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This indicates that they are done baking.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
