Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Raisins soaked in water
  • 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Quick Oats plus extra for topping
  • 1/2 cup Milk plus 2 tablespoons
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 2 Overripe Bananas mashed

Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Rubber spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of raisins with 1 tablespoon of water. Let soak.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  4. In another bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1/2 cup of vegetable oil. Stir in 1 large egg, 1/2 cup of milk, and 2 mashed overripe bananas until combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold until just combined.
  6. Fold in 1/2 cup of quick oats and the soaked raisins (drained).
  7. Line your muffin tin with liners or grease it. Distribute the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins.
  • Adjust brown sugar based on sweetness preference.
