Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Rye flour
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 0.25 cups Molasses
• 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 cups Buttermilk
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Raisins

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together rye flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg and mix in the brown sugar, molasses, and vegetable oil until smooth.

Step 4

Add the buttermilk and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 6

Fold the raisins into the batter until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about two-thirds full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy these Raisin Rye Muffins fresh or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
