Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Raisins
• 0.5 cups Chopped pecans or walnuts
• 0.25 cups Corn syrup (light or dark)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave, and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should look slightly lumpy.

Step 6

Fold in the raisins and chopped nuts, ensuring they are evenly incorporated throughout the batter.

Step 7

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 8

Drizzle approximately 1 teaspoon of corn syrup over the top of each muffin, letting it seep into the batter slightly.

Step 9

Place the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for extended freshness.
